As a Mesa pilot, my advice is to plan like your next trip is your last trip and get agressive about rebuilding your career as soon and fast as possible.

Since you probably can't get a different job right now, might as well spend some energy trying to patch up what you have, if that's possible.
PDub is proactive and vocal, those are good traits for someone involved in a labor dispute. He didn't always have the best ideas IMO, but at least he's pushing the issues.
Going forward, you will be a smaller, leaner, meaner pilot group...no starry-eyed Noobs left, so everyone will have been bent over the MAG barrel once or twice. Hopefully there will be enough folks who won't roll over every time OJ threatens to take their shiny jet away.
