Please never compare us to Mesa again.

I can get back to phx about 4 years sooner as a mesa fo looking to upgrade...., never thought I would see OO and Mesa in the same sentence. Side note, if we are having issues with flaps settings, why is getting rid of the before takeoff flaps check a good idea ?

Why would anyone go to Mesa in PHX over Compass? Same QOL issues. Same upgrade speeds. E175 for Compass, CRJ for Mesa. More money at Compass.

Reserve at OO is horrible for a commuter. A combo of long call and short call reserve. And, really uncommutable.

I never called SkyWest a prestigious regional. Those two words don’t go together.

That one comes and goes every few years. If you don't like the current policy, just wait a while and it will change back.

One of the nice little elements of our management, not one of them have touched the controls, in years!

A notorious sim instructor once told me in CQ. "This SOP was written by hillbillies with pick up trucks flying Navajos and all the sudden they got jets."

We all see the errors. Nothing changes.

I take that back.
They do add more errors from time to time.
