We had guys that werent good enough pilots to flight instruct and did not get hired at my flight school that went directly to the right seat at Mesa/Freedom. In my opinion, Mesa brings down the industry and I hope the go out of business. Pilots have seen their paychecks get sliced and sliced due to some internal but mostly external forces but to have pilots undercutting pilots is simply terrible and unforgiveable. Now, I know people will say that it is the contract that Mesa signed and its not the pilots fault. Hey, you went to work for that company.

I would rather flight instruct for the next 5 years than work for Mesa.
what if the new contract was on par with your pool companies. Some food for thought, if you had the time 1.5 yrs ago you would be in the left seat of a CRJ now, but ill let you sit on your soap box in the right seat of a 172.
