Maybe he wouldn't hold us in such contempt if we could spell "article". Pilotyip notwithstanding because learning is for suckers.

Another Reason...

"China, in addition to being a huge growth opportunity, gives Mesa a place to send its planes should it lose business with bigger airlines in coming years. And the ability to shift planes abroad also gives him more bargaining leverage with the pilots union — ask for too much and the planes you’re flying disappear."


Here's another great reason NOT to go to Mesa. If the China deal goes through, Mesa pilots won't only be whipsawed against other U.S. regionals, now they can look forward to competing against their Chinese brethren as well. Not good...

Third late occurance. Reason: Rickshaw hit ox cart. Fight occured with locals trying to take windbreaker from spilled luggage to mass produce for export.

Maybe he'll ride one of his motorcycles into the path of a truck.
