Want a Mesa airline then keep treating us like Mesa employees.
Oh lordy. I hope I don't have to share a trip with you. I don't mind the slow flying and the no short cuts thing because I've got bills to pay. But you start disappearing to call dispatch on a pay phone then we'd have a problem. 136.55 dispatch Mx frequency is provided for you to use.
I expect some of the legally insane regional lifer old timers here to pull cry baby biatch stunts like heading off to a pay phone. But if I hop in with a young fresh captain on reserve who's pulling that crap and making my job more miserable and stressful, it ain't gonna fly.
And for some of you new captains.. you should be ashamed that you have already forgotten what it's like to be a FO. Don't be a cocky micro manager. It only reveals you're lack of confidence and ability.
