Out of about 1100, a bit disappointing to say the least. Doesn't show a real unified pilot group. I'll bet JO/company was quite satisfied with that turn out.

I bet he doesn't give a rats ass until the vast majority of the pilot group votes with their feet to express how they really feel about this place.

I've been here a year and a half and I've moved up a little over 350. I have no idea how many have left junior to me. October 2016 there were 1268 on the seniority list. Today there are 1202. Maybe the feet voting is happening.

And that's just the pilots above you leaving. Imagine how many below you have left who have been here less than 18 months. If you knew that number and the amount of money JO has spent on new hire training then bail shortly after you'd really freak out. Or the amount of money spent on new hires who don't even make it through because of the non existent interview process. Wasteful spending.

A recruiter told me there's contract negotiations right now. As in the pilot contract.
Any inside news on that?
Pay? Per diem? Upgrade times?

There apparently are not current negotiations or are at a standstill. Also, beware of thinking the new hire bonus will be around in the near future. It is in violation of our current contract and we have a VERY good case to have it taken away. I fear some of the people who recently came here expecting to have that additional money until they upgrade are going to be very disappointed soon.

Mesa ALPA has to picket to burn up the 2 million they were given. Do you think the public cares? Mesa is a private company! If they were public then picketing might get some public shareholders to worry. Mesa ALPA just has to show they are doing something with the money given to them from ALPA. If they really were serious however in getting a new contract they would file for mediation. That costs very little for the progress it would gain. Unfortunately for Andy, that would mean Mesa ALPA would have to come prepared to negotiate in mediation, no more stalling. I think ALPA national has no ideal that Andy is a company man. If you really care then either leave or raise hell to your union on filing for mediation. Forget picketing.
