How is that the pilots fault? JO kept the cert. alive for this very reason. Mesa has now displaced all of the ERJ guys (not one of which was an original freedom guy to the freedom cert.) but, oh yea your right the pilots should have demanded a name change I’m sure JO would have done it out of the goodness of his heart.
JO doesn't care if its associated with the alter ego or not in fact he is proud of it.
