I'm in a similar spot, but dude, it screws future guys and continues to hurt every other regional's bargaining leverage. Enough's enough, let's leave this place better than we found it.

TA is out. It can be found at mag.alpa.org

But we would be. Do you remember first year making $22/hour having to eat fig bars from the plane for dinner because you couldn't afford a ****in meal? Because I do. $36/hour is actually livable. What if something happens to the industry where Mesa isn't in a position to give out these bonuses anymore (which are completely bogus) and we're back to giving first year FOs $22/hour again? That would be awful.

nowhere in the contract is DOS defined

Looked at the contract and for 7 years of negotiations that is all you get? LOL! If I was still at Mesa it would be another no vote. In 6 months you will have another TA... JO needs it. They are giving 300 percent for overtime right? Well you vote this in, they will be able to get FO's so you won't have that 300 percent anymore. So you might as well keep asking for more money then what this thing offers...

I think the MEC did the right thing letting you vote on it but I would vote no and send it back for more. Keep these guys though as they are heading in the right direction.

Two changes I would want to see are the pay rates to be the same DOS instead of taking 2 years, as well as a few bucks higher which would still be below industry average. Second, better health insurance coverage like excluding the FA's and making it pilots only. Then you would get a yes from me.

so 5-B,
if we are sitting on a maintenance delay on the plane and it hits 4 hrs, we can grab our bags and head out of airport and start seeking a hotel room. thats how i read this wording

You're not at Mesa anymore so your opinions may be a bit skewed. %300 was only offered for about a week and from what I've seen have been for garbage pickups like a flight to OKC for an overnight and a DH back.

Thank you for your concern but Mesa will never get anything as good as your current airline. So your opinion is invalid.

It's amazing how everyone who doesn't work here anymore wants to give their $0.02 about voting no, when your not paying my bills. The struggle is real for us Mesa pilots.
