Where did you count the votes? I know several Mesa pilots and this is the first they heard of it when I asked. Better spread the word...
As illegal as it would be for the union to do this, it is what is needed to force your MEC to take some action and also helps let the investors know there is labor unrest.

Mesa 3.0
Would it be crazy for a captain without 1,000 hours Part 121 PIC to leave for another regional? A step up would be preferable, of course, but without a better offer, a regional is the only choice right now. Envoy or SkyWest seem like ok places to sit tight for a while. Mainline doesn't seem to hire Mesa pilots, and with the negativity, weak FOs, Jonathan, shady union, etc., I kind of just want out.

Each day you wait to make a move is more and more seniority wasted.

I would think you could easily get an interview with Allegiant/Spirit/Frontier/Atlas with 1000 TPIC. To each their own, but as bad as our labor negotiations are going it's really not worth starting over as an Envoy FO when you're a making Captain pay with decent seniority. At least stick around til an LCC calls. YMMV.

Chasing all those places. At just over 3,000 hours, I think my total time is low-ish, but yeah, might be better to endure and wait for the LCC call.

Wow, some of you need to google "illegal work action" and the consequences that come with it. Also, airline management has, in the past, subpoenaed this website to release personal information to sue people individually. I think it was United, and you should all look into what it cost those individuals they persecuted.
