Mesa dirty laundry in hometown newspaper.

[regionaltard]

I'm curious, why does anyone stay at Mesa? As I understand it, and this came from someone involved in hiring, that all things being equal, being from Mesa is a negative. In other words, say a SkyWest and a Mesa pilot had the same basic experience level, the edge would go to the SkyWest pilot. Essentially he has been getting better training and exposure to a more professonal airline operating experience. Also, recruiters would have to wonder why the Mesa pilot didn't leave, is their something wrong with him?

Are you kidding? I'd imagine that airlines would look favorably on pilots who had proven that they could take a beating and keep coming back for more. Seriously.

I would think with your political leanings and opinions, that you of all people would support Mesa's business practices.

Well, then that would just confirm what we've known all along:

You're little more than a loudmouthed, small-minded, moronic, "Randy"-type hater with a tiny unit.

Put me back on ignore, jerky.

Mesa won't need to furlough, in fact if DAL does the right thing and throws them out they might have enough crews and equipment to do the UAL flying they are supposed to be doing...

That is a good point.

But, one reason is that they cant staff is the Mesa stigma. As a former check dispatcher, I had the chance to go to Mesa, but, would I want to align myself, and my own rep with that of J.O.?

Nahh, I would rather work at McDonalds working the drive thru then work for J.O.

Yes, if they get a new CEO, and kick J.O.s a$$ onto Whore street by their HDQ in PHX, then, I could consider it - but with that ba$tard around, I want nothing to do with them.

I wish all the Mesa'ers the best, but I would so jump ship.

I think it's more accurate to say that captains at the regionals in general, and places like Mesa in particular, demonstrate on a daily basis their ability to safely operate a flight with minimal support. I.E., don't trust your dispatcher, don't trust your MX department, NEVER trust your crew scheduler, etc.

However, I would agree that anyone who stays at a place like Mesa for too long would probably raise some questions . . . .

Holy Shizit ! I finally agree with you on something. Now back to my beer.

I really want to see the guy again who interviewed me many years ago at holiday inn PHX. He rejected me, so I ended up at better airlines. I forgot his name though but I bless him everyday.

My suggestion to all Mesa pilots is to jump. The likelyhood of this ship sinking with J.O. still at helm is perhaps better than 50%.

The problem is that there really isn't anywhere to "jump" to now.

Best of luck to MAG employees...although I will enjoy watching the ship sink.
