99% of the mesa pilots i talk to have reasoning similar to that of tmc, or they applied to multiple airlines and mesa was the first to come knocking, or ruh roh here we go... were low time MAPDers.

I don't think you have a real good grasp on the definition of "pompous."

Pompous describes a lot of people who post here, but I'm not one of them.

Slap me? Are you one of the 18-21 year olds I was talking about earlier, or do you just act like one?

The only thing more disgusting than the Mesa uneducated workforce, handpicked from the local unemployment agencies and local WalMarts, and how they were so in your face obvious that they are trying to violate your rights as a pilot and human being, were the pilots who worshiped at JOs altar and did his bidding. I have zero sympathy for whatever happens to the place. Some of the things I have experienced were in no doubt on par with what workers are subject to in 3rd world countries or communist regimes. That's probably the only thing I miss about Mesa, dealing with all the morons that make up that company. Now that I know a thing or two about the airlines, I could have had a little more fun with them. As far as pilots. I have no doubt many are good people there, including paxhauler, but you can't tell me that the pilots have nothing to do with the continuation of the damage that Jonathan Ornstein has caused to the airline business for the last decade even after two chances. I have zero sympathy, they knew what they were getting themselves into when Mesa was the only airline that would hire them. What a disaster of an airline.

You mean a fast upgrade isn't the point at a regional. Guess I should have gone to Eagle.

In response to another post:
Yes there were CD lines out of PHX (LAS) awhile back that did not offer a hotel. The rest period between evening flight and morning was kept less then 3 or 4 hrs. If it had been more the company was required to give hotel accom's according to the contract. This practice came to a screeching hault after a TV newscast "expose" on the matter.
Some have fanned the flames of Mesa animosity as if it were their personal vendetta. Some of said folks are former Mesa pilots (you know who you are) go figure.

This is ironic coming from someone who works at GoJets. You, GoJet pilots, are carrying a damaging torch torch, damaging the industry by undercutting your fellow pilots.

You, too, knew exactly what you were getting into. You seemed to have no trouble making the change from TSA to GoJets.

You're also too big of a coward to list your GoJets job in your "position."
