Well, I would think long and hard before I took a CA job at Air Midwest.....but here is the link to the company's info on here http://airlinepilotcentral.com/airli...-lcc/mesa.html
Also remember that due to the way the company is run they have relatively new (no experience) dispatchers. This again means a lot of mistakes to catch on a 10 minute turn.

If one decided to take a new CA job there you would be domiciled in MCI or maybe FMN for sometime because as openings in other domiciles occur they would be taken by the small amount of current FO's upgrading. If you choose to live in one of these 2 cities or within 90 minutes, life might not be that bad. otherwise....

This is an excellent point. Working at a similar BE1900 regional (GLA), it is undeniable that pilots should take this into consideration. Everytime you sign the dispatch release, you accept liability for the flight. I couldn't even began to count the times I've caught huge errors on a dispatch release.
