Another question...
APC reports the most junior jet captain at Mesa was hired Nov 2004. Almost 3 years to upgrade to captain. That seems like a long time for a company that is regarded as a substandard employer. Consider that airlines such as Skywest and Expressjet, who are viewed as being much more pilot-friendly, are advertising upgrades in the 1-2 year range.
Any insight on this phenomenon?

I agree that the individual makes a huge difference. But if you and your buds are so hot (not saying that you're not) WHAT THE H*** ARE YOU DOING STILL WORKING FOR ORNSTEIN????
Why are you willing to put up with that crap? Maybe the dash is isolated from the rest of the mess now (I recall a high CANX rate on dash flights), but you still have horrible work rules! Are you going to stick up for yourself next month? If you're going to defend mesa, you'd better be ready to burn it down.

I refuse to get into another arguement with you over mesa, as they lead no where.
Of course we are going to fight for a lot of changes next month.

I know a guy that has over 6000hrs and his wife still won't let him fly his C210 by himself. Rich beyond all means but no matter how much I get on his case I've never seen him do a weight and balance or check the oil. I know it's hard to believe some are like that but then again people spend 2/3rds of their life driving a car and still miss the red glowing CHECK ENGINE light.
