Another note why would you or anyone else that still works at Mesa believe anything JO says?

On the flip side: We are (and have been) seeing a marked reduction in our benefits here at SKW. We are working much harder with fewer options than in the past. I want to say this is due to rapid growth but I realize that there are many other factors. Still, when I look at most of the regional/national industry, SkyWest seems to be among the more attractive options.
I'm sure we'd all like to be were the growth is at the moment.

My take is that a company that pays and treats it's employees better, is prospering over a company that is corrupt and an terrible place to work. Of course its sad for the Mesa pilots that have stayed, but why is this a loss for our industry?

Would have been easier to "blend" the whole family. But the bottom line is we are glad to have insurance and have the company pay for part of it.
