Think I remember us going off the side of a taxiway in CLE. Which, if you've ever been to CLE when they're getting some lake effect action, is not hard to do. RAH also sent one of their 170s off the end of runway 28 in CLE last year. Snows flyin, be careful boys and girls!

Go and interview but beware, Mesa is famous for charging a $50 "interview fee" (or raping fee, whatever) DON'T PAY IT!!! The experience will be good but not 50 bucks good. You'll go in there with confidence, like the confidence you get when you're talking to an ugly girl at a bar. You're just warming up and don't really care if it goes anywhere but if she wants to give you a bj later, you'll be flattered, right?

Also, ask them why 600+ FOs left this year.

Then, apply to a quality company and work there.
Is there a way to research and compare contracts to find out about QOL issues like block or better ?

Ask around on the internet. Even if you got a copy of everyone's contract, they are so complicated that you would probably not be able to just read it and understand it...you'd need someone to explain it to you (unless you're an ex labor-lawyer).

2012. But I think Airways can reduce their flying by a certain amount each year starting in 2007.
