And CS acted like "Operational Necessity" voided the contract.

I had gone straight from the military to USAir then did the flow down to Mesa after furlough in 2003. 30 of us mainline pilots were in Mesa initial, many have never worked for a regional. It was quite the eye opener.

I’m sure things have improved in some ways. At least one would like to think so but Mesa will always be Mesa. When push comes to shove CS is gonna get you to do what they want. Legal or not they’re gonna try.

we don’t have a ORD base. We are doing ORD flying but no base. It is possible we may open one in the future but as of now no official word to my knowledge.

Any aviate folk in here? I’m curious since I’m going to the greener pasture side after you interview and are accepted what it’s like.

I interviewed for Aviate as a CFI but result was no joy. I'm starting Mesa in January and will get to try again with 500 hours with the company. I have two CFI buddies who are at Mesa at the moment and they got onboard with Aviate. I can link you up if you want.

It is mine as well, but I got shot down once, so got a bit discouraged, they are meticulous for Aviate, but that doesn't mean traditional route is out. Shoot me a PM if you like we can link up.
