I realize it's not just a Mesa/Freedom problem, but that so far was the worst I have ever seen.

We have hired some guys/gals at Eagle that 2 years ago could NEVER have passed the new hire medical. We're scraping the bottom.

Take pride in what you do, look the part!

Just my 2cents!
Watching cops always cheers me up, makes me realize life isn't really that bad

Are you sure he/she was YV?

YV/ZV doesn't provide crew meals.

Most pilots loose 15-20 pounds working 20 days of reserve in 28...

Pretty funny when the cameraman, the guy with the big heavy camera, has to stop running with the cop cause the cop has to stop and rest.

LOL this is so true. I lost almost 15 pounds working at Mesa, reduced rest overnights and being broke all the time.

Then I came to RAH and gained it all back, true story.

Sure. Ive got some change on my desk. I say everyone who is interested go in, we make an LLC, and the LLC purchases MAG.

And yes, I have spent way too much time thinking about this...way too much...

Very true story. My friends used to look at me when I did time at Mesa and claimed I didn't look good. I lost weight, felt miserable and exploited by the devil JO himself.

Feelin great now at XJT, feeling really sorry every time I hear Air Shuttle on the radio.
