First, you wouldn't want me to walk a mile in your shoes because then I'd be a mile away...with your shoes. But all kidding aside:

The only thing I said about Mesa pilots was to agree with the guy who said they are the problem for staying there and continuing to get abused. You said the best way to hurt Mesa is to leave...if you hate your company so much, why are you still there? Everything else I said was about how FREEDOM (the company) took the flying in MCO.

P.S. - 9/11 was terrible, but it screwed everyone, not just you.

Yea, 9-11 really really sucked for a lot of people, not just me. My story is a little blip on the standby radar in the back room. But you are right- I need my shoes! Especially in PHX where it is so hot your shoes will melt on the tarmac... I am hoping to leave soon. I will be a LAMA (life after mesa airlines) Got a couple of bites I need to get onto the hook there. You movin' on soon? Good luck if you are! Lots of places hiring these days... chose carefully as I am sure you will. For instance, I don't see how NWA is going to get new peeps to fly for them...
