The only market force that matters is the pilot group. As long as pilots are continuing to show up to NH classes and finish training then pay and QOL will stay the same. Look at Endeavor, RAH, and the WOs where they were all bleeding pilots and then pay increased to stop the bleeding.
I know lots of pilots chose MESA because the quick upgrade or the base is convenient. But if your pilot group wants to see changes then it has to jump ship and go to an LCC or a different regional. When pilots start leaving and NH classes start drying up then the company will start making some moves.
This whole not picking up OT isn't going to work because someone else will tend to pick it up. And who are you really hurting? It might feel good to know a flight got canceled because they couldn't staff it but it would feel a whole lot better to give them your two weeks and then cash a 20k check.
Sorry I got bored on my companies thread and figured I'd see what's going on in here.

AND they have the same exact problem, no leverage for a new contract, because regional pilots are flooding them with resume's.

But JO said in the last conference call that there are over 100 applicants a month, and that Mesa is selective with whom they hire, and his former MEC chairman recruiter has no issue filling classes because candidates know that Mesa pilots make the most money over 5 years. What gives? Is he delusional, disconnected from reality, in denial, dumb, or dishonest? Gotta be one of the D's and I think I can narrow it down...I don't think he's dumb. Methinks you guys are going to have a rough year ahead of you. Good luck.
