there is way too much bashing going on here on B6. Take it down a notch. People tend to say how they feel more then once and it just gets old. Take Velocipede for example, his nonstop crying about how much he hates the "scabs" is getting on everyone’s nerve. B6 has only been around for 7 yrs, and it took companies such as UPS, FDX and SWA way more then 7 yrs to become industry leading in pay and work rules.
Get serious about asking these guys to take it easy on B6. I work for Mesa, and I know better than to make the same request. They're going to do it no matter what, and the more you act ****ed, the more they will rip on B6 and you.
Having said that; I enjoyed the 10 ten list, but I DO know that a top 50 list could be made for Mesa. Haha, I'll be waiting on that one.

I find it humorous that any airline pilot (regardless of carrier) would say that any one company is lowering the bar. From my perspective, all airline pilots have lowered the bar over the past 3 years.
I've seen airline guys pay for corporate type ratings, and then low ball established contract guys (sometimes by more than $500/day), just to "get in the door."
As far as pay per seat or pay per flight hour, I blow any of you out of the water... and I'm flying a SLOWTATION!
The negativity around here is getting tiresome. We can poke fun at each other in good humor, but some people take things way too far and way over the top. The truth is that companies will pay what the market can bear. I don't blame JetBlue or Mesa pilots for working for less than other carriers. I blame the national unions for allowing it to happen in the first place.
Until we as a profession can realize our worth (both individually and collectively), there will always be a "new player" with "great potential" that picks up low time/experience players for sub industry pay/conditions.
