Just curious. What was your lead time from submitting an app to getting the interview. I have two recomendations from two current FO's. Starting to get frustrated with instructing ready to move on. Have five out of 10 students all learning landings right now. Averaging 50 some trips in the pattern per day. Plus the thermometer stays peg on about 100F in the cockpit.

In my situation, we arrived late due to weather and thus I was looking at reduced nap time. I slept in the aircraft to get more sleep. However, there have been some trips that were planned with a 3 hour layover in some place like BIL. The terminal shut down and everyone went home except the crews. They stayed on the plane. I have heard of this happening with our PHX crews. I haven't heard about it from any other domicile. The BIL trip that I heard about had a failed APU in the winter. No Hotel etc. It wasn't pretty. I believe the union crawled all over them for this and they have removed these types of pairings. I could be wrong - I am ORD based these days.
The good news is that Mesa is learning that abuse of your crews does equal recruiting issues. I know the Mesa pilots are tired of the abuse but at present have tied hands. We stand ready for an improved quality of life and sooner or later - MGT will get the big picture. No One Wants To Work Here!
