Ease up dude, I got bills to pay like everyone else, I'm not going to get them paid sitting in right seat of a pencil. And I don't have 6-8 years to sit around waiting to get the left seat of it.

The regionals are bumps on the road to a life of flying real airplanes, if that even exists anymore. No PIC turbine no job flying the big boys. You gotta get it somewhere, besides there are about 500 people still working at Mesa that had anything to do with the last contract and if you knew why they has accepted it you'd respect them for it. Unless you want ExpressJet to start up an alter ego company to get around your contract a little history would do you well. Will see where your stones are when XJet comes looking for concessions or layoffs because they can't find homes for 60 airplanes they shouldn't of kept.
