I think you are going too far with those statements. I'm sure there are many fine pilots at Mesa. You really shouldn't generalize that much. I've met some Mesa pilots that are fine people and fine pilots.

I stand by my statement. There are a few decent and good Mesa pilots around. But they are few and far between. That place is a bottom feeder and attracts those that don't respect their career or profession. They know it, and so does everyone else. That is why they can't look you in the eye after they tell you they work for Mesa. Sad.

I would write that to, to cover my ass. But he stated "we have smoke" and "the smoke has not got any worse". whats critical about being above 10,000

I jumpseated on a Freedom Airlines flight once from ATL-SDF back in 2006. I know it could happen at any airline, but the fact that the following happened during my flight on Freedom Airlines didn't do much for their image in my mind.
- crew incorrectly programmed departure into FMS
- crew had A LOT of non-essential conversation (some is normal-but not that much)
- crew were sort of odd
- crew departed 26L in ATL with over a 1,000 lbs imbalance of fuel. I am at fault for not bringing it to their attention- I was waiting to see when they noticed it- not until we were on final in SDF over 1:15 later!
- Captain became confused and frustrated while taxiing in to the gate
- I thanked them for the ride and walked away .. relieved?

So are you saying they took off with the amber fuel imbalance message on the eicas? And if so that'd mean over a two hour taxi on one engine before departure to get it to that point. That just doesnt make sense!

In the CRJ series aircraft with both boost pumps on and one engine shut down, it is quite easy to get a fuel imbalance message well inside of an hour.

Most crews just turn the boost pumps off. It helps siginificantly.

Yes, but we are talking about the EMB-145, and no it's not that easy.

That could be said about most crews.

That could be said about most crews.

Tell me about it. Growing up I used to think pilots walked on water, until I became one and saw what a bunch of misfits some of us are.
