I'll never forget his response: Oh, well, you've been here how long?.....Oh. 4 years, huh? Well, your JUNIORITY (lol) doesn't allow you to ask such a question
JUNORITY. love it. I actually did Laugh Out Loud. What a tool.

OMG. i just watched the FB video overvieiw of the the new TA. I dont follow MAG news but already knew mesa sucked but this is crazy. What the heck has been going on over there. The new TA is worst than the xjt contract of 2004. If your >5 years there just leave asap. You guys having been flying under a stone age contract. Just get the old L-xjt contrat and your lives will improve tremendiosly. Im not saying this to insult anyone but my jaw just droped when i listened to the "new improvements" that the TA is offering. I honestly feel bad for you guys even thou you did it to yourself but this crap needs to stop.

Does the new TA have leg-by-leg cancellation pay or do you keep the current line guarantee?

Reading through the Roadshow FAQs just highlights the ridiculousness of this who thing...
Q: Won’t the company just always claim that long call would require additional staffing, therefore never offer it?
A:MAG flight ops management understands the value of long call reserve, especially in light of FAR 117. They have every incentive to properly apply long call reserve.
That is a BIG assumption. Mesa is going to do whatever is best for them and their staffing, not because there is "value" in long call. I just don't see the incentive, or we would have it now. I would say the more realistic answer probably is yes...
Q: I heard Jonathan just bought a fancy car.
A: Neither Jonathan nor senior management has controlling interest in MAG any longer—it is controlled by a Board of Directors comprised of representatives of major shareholders. MAG is not his private piggy bank. Just like you, what he does with his salary is his own choice.
Who even thought this was question worth answering, let alone putting it in your FAQ section...
The whole MEC argument was that why not take the money now, because there isn't anymore down the road. My view is that for 30 cents an hour, I might as well just wait and see how the industry plays out over the next year.
Though if I vote yes, I could almost afford a new pack of gum every trip at the airport NBC store...

Some have said that quick upgrades have stopped. Just curious if one could share the junior Captain DOH on the 175 in IAH.
Thanks!
Thanks!

DFW CRJ went at Nov 14 on the latest award, so CRJ is still quick, but that will slow here soon as well.

The "quick" upgrades only apply to those with previous 121 experience. It will take a newhire with no 121 experience about 20 months to amass the required 1000 hours of 121 SIC time here. Whether there are upgrades to be had 20 months from now is anyone's guess.
