Bro, do you have any idea how hard it is to pay your phone bill, make sure it's charged and have a good story about that DUI arrest? Yeah, I have a headache just thinking about it. You know how hard it is to pencil whip your logbook up to 1500. Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

You know, if you actually told the real truth about working conditions and incredibly poor contract instead of coming in here and giving eBJs to JO, you might actually be able to finish that contract you've been working on for the last decade. Or maybe you're just content being the literal bottom feeder of the piloting profession? I don't give RAH nearly as much flak because they are shooting down garbage being fed to them by Bedford. You guys are just happy flying self-proclaimed mini-A318

They do actually have this thing, I know you don't understand it all that well, it's called an interview. I know...... pick yourself off the floor of that Best Western and take a moment to gather yourself. Crazy huh?
There's no reason to defend Mesa on any level, but let's not get all high and mighty here. Apparently Skywest will hire anyone who is qualified, even if they get rejected in the interview.

Brah, I know I've told this story before but I know someone who got a fake person a class date at Mesa without about 2 minutes of effort. Until you can beat that it's time to step off it son.

That doesn't refute his statement that all regionals are getting to the point of hiring anyone. Its starting to become widespread, not just at Mesa and what have you....tsh, psa, skw, cpz... everyone is getting desperate.

That being said, that's pretty funny about the fake mesa dude

Oh, no doubt everyone is getting desperate. My point simply is that there are very wide variations in the level of desperation.
