I think the overarching reason I won't work for Mesa, after reading these boards, doing research, and watching that employee video, is this: you never know when the industry will take a downturn, so I want to make sure I start out my career at a place where I would be happy if I ended up getting stuck there for 10 years. I think if someone can't say they would spend 10-15 years there if worst came to worst, they shouldn't take a job with Mesa.

A town in my state recently switched over to Mesa as their Essential Air service carrier...TSA dropped their J41 service there...all these local businessmen were all smiling and elated at their wonderful new B1900 contract with Mesa...I wonder if that town realizes their pilots might have slept in the aisle of the plane the night before. Maybe I should call the FBO down there and see if they can't hook em up with a couch or something. The chairs in the terminal aren't very comfortable.
