Those folks are usually traveling on Monday morning and Thursday afternoon. But without a doubt one of the easiest commutes that I know of.

It was quiet the story, lowly Mesa guys teaching us how to save money for our mainline contract carrier. Pretty much think that's how it went over.
I guess different sources, different info... Was told Mesa got the flying because they were the lowest bidder. Also, we have been using our won fuel savings program for a long time, and it wasn't created by anyone at Mesa.
