I also find it funny that the one person at Mesa who WILL trash talk you to your face, and even try to get you in trouble, acts like a gentleman on this forum with very thought out posts backed up with facts. Go figure...

A 3 month ATP wonder pilot with only a high school diploma? Or someone who has a degree or a degree in the filed of which they work that gained all if they're flight experience in a structured 141 college training environment.

I heard Mesa is losing a bunch of block hours in DFW back to Envoy because of the inability to staff it. Has DFW really been that much of a mess?

On a side note, is Mesa having staffing issues at all?

There's many more examples like this.

Why is it that pilots begin their career as captains in a large jet (after a very very short stint as a first officer for a few years) so they can get enough experience to become a first officer in another large jet? Finally, they become a real captain with half their career (15 or so years) behind them.
Seven years as a captain is experienced only if he had ten or fifteen years of co pilot experience first...otherwise he's just being used by the system for cheap labor at co pilot pay when he should be spending the first half (approximately) of his career as a first officer.
I'm not judging this individual, I'm just pointing out how stupid and backward the whole system is. It's ironic though that this happened at Buffalo.
