...If you didn't want to deal with risk, what were you doing at Mesa?

I am okay with the risks. I came here to fly the Dash-8. I felt the bases would be a reasonable commute to my home. I knew the pilot group was negotiating a new contract which I hoped would improve things. I hoped for a quick upgrade opportunity. So far, my "gamble" has paid off. If we fold, I will survive. I will feel sympathy for fellow MAG employees who lose their jobs.

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!
