I feel like I have too much invested, now its just a matter of holding on and trying to survive.

But historically speaking, I tend to agree with you. A few years ago you really had to have some ability and motivation to complete that program and get a job at Mesa...then it took 4+ years to meet captain mins.
The problem NOW is that the standards are much lower, ie pass the credit check. I saw some useless punks with real attitudes coming on line when I was still at mesa, but at least THEY had to interview. The MAPD grads today go directly to new-hire class, they don't even interview them.
Like GIA, you can definately buy a job at mesa today.

Same thing with ExpressJets obsession with 600 hour guys from ALLATPS. It's sickening.
Another great reason why pay is terrible.
