Mesa Air in some hot water

Based on the $80 million ruling against them, I hope that Mesa Air isn't the center piece for the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport plan. Whats more, if you look at the comments, there is some serious hate going on for Mesa Air. It makes me wonder about all of those commercials I have seen with those smiling employees who say things like, "I started on the runway!" Was there a caddle prod being threatened? You have to assume that this will strain the relationship between Mesa Air and US Airways, right?
