Tired of people saying if Mesa can't pay we should go under and everyone can start over again. People put in time to get where they are and hold seniority or a position. If you don't care and feel mesa is that far off then spend less time *****ing and go on to another regional since that's where you want to be. I don't think it's great, but I'm a realist. We will never have a Skywest or Republic contract right now, could we get there sure. But Mesa has operated this way for 30 years, it's not going to change overnight. Delta didn't get an industry leading contract overnight, it was improved upon and improved upon. This is the first time Mesa has put anything close to average and parts of it are above average, we still have no junior assignments, some people would kill for that. We also finally have a contract that has raises as it goes on, then raises for periods of negotiation. Is it perfect no, but it's a start and something to build upon. Rome wasn't built in a day.
WTF are you talking about when you write, "We still have no junior assignments." ????
You sound drunk on the cool-aid

Huh? I made just shy of $80k (with per diem) my first full year as a captain at Mesa. Staying at Mesa works just fine for me at the moment. I'm not sure why my staying needs to be subject to a barrage of 'no' votes or sabotage of the company. Is your ego so big that simply resigning isn't enough?

No one hires Mesa?
I beg to differ, where I work, theres tons of Mesa guys, but like anything in aviation, timing is EVERYTHING.
Mesa is split in two, I was from the CRJ side of the house, NO-WAY was I going to see 80k gross on 4th year CA pay. The EJET side, sure. But what's takehome after paying for health insurance? How much are you spending on commuter hotels? You are getting nickeled and dimed to death.

It's been 2,406 days since the last contract was amendable. We're pleased to announce that our pilot group has ratified TA 2017, with 58% of pilots voting in favor of the agreement. Congratulations to all!
