It probably collapsed from all the stress the gear gets from there high speed taxis.

or maybe all those MD-11's are crashing on landing because the pilots don't know how to land.

(sounds of babies crying) Did someone not get the job w/SWA? Hmmm, I can't understand why either. No really, I can't.

Wait, wait, wait...before you say it: 1) Wow, I do work for Mesa. Nice! 2) Yeah, I was a new grad when I joined 8 months ago (roughly 5 months after I graduated). Super! 3) I would be so lucky to have your job. Fantastic! 4) ______fill in the blank with a fourth genius remark about "newgrad411". Marvelous!

Nice to see there are class acts like you out there representing the industry. Try and find some respect for those who didn't let a bad situation get worse.
