Looks like the APC gossip board has done a number on you. Good luck upgrading in a couple of years.
Lol. They've gotten slightly better, but you still have 15+ year Mesa guys jumping to other regionals. What does that tell you?

If mesa didn't suck so badly you wouldn't have alumni from DECADES ago bothering to weigh in...

They'll leave a lasting impression, that's for sure

Well if you’re at any regional for 15+ years, you’re not doing something right.

Basically, people that bash other regionals are living in glass houses.

Every regional has had terrible working conditions at one time or another. Mesa isn’t alone there.

True, but they are more consistently crappy than most...

Meh, I’ve only been here 3 months. Seems about average crappy to me.

I’ll get back to you in 6 months on my take.

Commute aside not going to uproot everything for regional life and I have a number of good options to make it doable but will include a drive to various airports if needed.
Who is going to run the business for you?

My business partner/wife - plus I stay involved running backend type stuff that can be done anywhere - so both of us. I currently travel for pt135 flying so we have it figured out and working on an exit strategy / it's back up if the sky falls in aviation.

The mesa diversion on this thread is entertaining. Being a product of the late 90's aviation education, I chose to not fly other than for myself including plane ownership. Stayed close enough to know all the history of Mesa and while I am not 'too good enough' - I simply choose to not go that route based on close friends that have spent time there.

I am just another person trying to catch the wave making best choices as possible that works for me. Everyone has their own path.

How in the hell does anything in my post warrant a ban? Worry about yourself.
