When you went to Mesa, you accepted an opportunity and a risk. Many who went before you reaped a great benefit by getting some jet PIC and moving on to great jobs such as Southwest. I say "good for them." Those pilots rolled the dice and won. If Mesa takes a giant dump, and I hope they will, some other gamblers will lose. If you didn't want to deal with risk, what were you doing at Mesa?

I've been there myself. I've gambled and lost. I never asked for any sympathy. I'm a big boy and I made my own decisions. I have no choice but to live with the results.

I hope it will work out well for you and all your brothers and sisters. I always wish the gambler good luck. Best of luck to you!
