Well, when you head to PSA for a quick upgrade and then the upgrade train slams to a halt it's not hard to see why one would be upset to compare PSA to MESA. But yes PSA isn't anything like MESA.

Parker doesn't dictate working environments at the WO's, the individual regional managements do. From what I've read, Envoy seems to stand apart as the airline with the most disregard for the interests of its pilots. The lack of new-hires looks to be more a function of the lack of candy (shiny new mini-Airbuses) at the three that the kids today crave.
That and the fact there really aren't many pilots available to begin with.

Next on the list of what affects your QOL is whether or not you're on reserve or hold a line.
You'll be happier as a lineholder living in base for a cr@ppy regional than you would commuting to reserve at the best regional there is.

IMHO, the working environments at the regionals has far less to do with management and a lot more to do with if you commute or not.

If the mainline "fleet" isn't growing..... the "fleet" isn't growing.
