I'm sure if you were in my shoes you'd want the same thing. I wish the best for you and your family - love, health, happiness, and wealth. I mean it. Cactus Rules! but I work for Mesa.
Back in AW days it was common tribal knowledge that Doug Parker had made public statements to the effect that he intends to get rid of YV at the first opportunity. He personally despises OJ.
Does that still stand after the merger? Who knows, but based on the history I certainly would not bet your job on DP extending the contract after 2012. Ask a cactus pilot next time you meet one, they should know what noises DP has been making lately.
The 900's are the only reason DP would renew mesa, so it probably depends on how useful those are and how hard they would be too replace.
