Rare? Lol, I worked here for 5 years. This is anything but rare.

Plus why was the pilot in that situation to begin with? The company’s ineptitude put them there. So when it’s time for the company to own up for their **** up they weasel out of it. Sure “things happen” with weather and ATC. But those seem to account for a very minor portion of the situations where this happens.

The issue is Mesa needs to plan as if zero pilots will extend. And should treat an extension as the pilot going above and beyond. I never extend regardless
