This may be silly asking you this, as I know how you feel about Mesa and sometimes enjoy teasing you about your bashing them. BUT- if you were an FO with just under a year at Mesa, 550TT and 250 on the ERJ, and were looking for a better quality of life, would you bail from Mesa and go to SkyWest if given the opportunity? For a bit more perspective, I'm in MCO on reserve. Live in DFW area. 8 days off per month isn't much when you have a wife and two boys. How many days off do you get on reserve for SkyWest? And are they likely to put someone with jet experience on the CRJ? Frankly, I wouldn't want to move to a turboprop. Any advice you have would be appreciated.
