Speaking of wood...I jumped one of the mannequins at Mervyns yesterday.

Did you break him?

Was he anatomically correct?

How many hours between flights is YOUR airline required, by contract, to provide a hotel to you?

Contract?

This makes me wanna drag J.O. around the terminal by his f***ing neck. Then on a CDO I'd lay him out on the floor with a shot to the jaw. Then I'd sleep on his dead corpse. F***'n bast*rd.

I wanna drag him around the terminal by something that sorta ryhmes with neck but in his case is much shorter

Hear is an example of a Mesa camping trip. Sorry that is didn't transfer well. If you notice, the crew gets into IAH at 4:06 and leaves at 6 am. Let me ask this question. Does your contract prevent your company from building a trip like this? Woud you get a hotel for the 1:54 minute turn? -Bean

Maybe I am reading this wrong but WTF is with doing 4 legs on a redeye pairing??? That is just plain stupid and not safe. At ExpressJet it is 2 legs maximum and they limit the sit time. Usually LAX to somewhere in Mexico and then IAH. Most redeye pairings are 1 leg and you are done. There is no way that you guys are safe if you are doing 4 legs. That is complete BS and you should call in Fatigued! I know I wouldn't be getting on that PHX-TUS flight or the TUS-LAS as a passenger....

Was in PHX recently and saw a few Mesa pilots carrying around plywood boards with the rest of their stuff. What's up with the plywood?

I guess even the Bushwackers need some extra money signing autographs during turns. Funny, I didn't even know they were pilots.

Why do people continue to work for these places?? Even long-haul truck drivers have better working conditions (bed and mattress) than this - and they make a lot more money too.

Chalk it up to SJS.

Its obvious that you know nothing about mesa's pilots or the old F8. its usually the the one's that dont know that bietch the most.

Yea, I know nothing about Mesa. I just lost my job at an ALPA Regional due to their lowballing tactics ten years ago. You've made progress since then, heh? Flying RJ's instead of 1900's with 1988 work rules....zilch. Don't wrinkle your shirt while on hot reserve or trying to catch some zzzz's in 1A on a 3 hour break between flights.
