Yes, and highest pay rates +$10/hr.

Yes, no airline is perfect. Different degrees of suck. First world problem. But Mesa is at the bottom of my list for regionals.

You weren't wearing cowboy boots and didn't look like you could stick a landing after arriving at the marker clean, at 250kts.

Military guys come from a background where they nonstop get told they're special, high-speed, cream of the crop, best of the best. They have to believe it too or they're not willing to get shot at. The pregame of course is being berated for a couple months while doing pushups and cleaning bathrooms. So the coming praise is welcomed and internalized, along with illusions of achievement and invincibility.

Regional guys, basically none of that. They haven't been worked on.

Right?! Fadec clearly hasn't sat through a fighter pilot debrief lol. Granted, fighter pilots are often told that we're special, the best, cream of the crop, etc... But it's only young kids and drunk fighter pilots saying that stuff :-D

Wow. Everything in this post makes it glaringly obvious you were never in the military.

do you know how many times you’re told you’re a POS and suck at flying in a fighter pilot debrief? It is not all shots of weed and volleyball in jeans..come on man even you have to know that. It’s just as tough as trying to earn your atp, or pass your first check ride. Nerves are nerves and people are people.
