Vacations CX @ Mesa!

[NCaviator]

All vacations have been CX for the remander of the year. Take into account that approx. 300 pilots about to time out and there is an already furious pilot group. Mesa could have 200-250 pilots quit in the next 2 months...let the mass exodus begin!

This cannot be for real?

This cannot be for real?

It is, for CRJ crews anyway.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

total bs. good friend of mine (dash trash) is spending his 8 days off in Amsterdam.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

no jr manning no nothing. If you hate ur gig so bad walk the walk instead of talking the (big) talk buddy.

 

[siucavflight]

Just talked to my buddy who is a CRJ FO from ORD, he just found out his December vacation was cancelled.

You must be talking about a different Mesa....

 

[Flyingdutchman]

china !!!

 

[rjacobs]

go on vacation anyway during your awarded time, ********************-em.

 

[RP170]

Exactly. Just happen to be sick. They want to play the game, play the game back.

So another friend who is on vacation in Florida today received a call telling him that he needs to come back to work immediately.
For everyone who is losing their vacations they are paying them double time for the work that they do during their vacations.

 

[sstearns2]

Is it really double time, or are they just letting you cash in the vacation time you would have used along with paying you for the trip?

[siucavflight]

Well scott, never thought of it that way, but yes I would guess that is what they are doing.

 

[SkyNation]

tell them not to worry, their union will protect them from this and other bad things that could happen to them.

Well I am sure they will do what they can, which in this case may not matter as Mesa will most likely only be around for a few more months.

I don't know. I can't imagine who could take on all the flying, since no one can fill classes.

 

[siucavflight]

I don't know. I can't imagine who could take on all the flying, since no one can fill classes.

The problem is that it does not matter if anyone can take on the flying. Mesa is about done, they can not physically do anymore flying. SKW at ORD has been picking up a lot of it over the last few months but they are at their limit in ORD and have said that they will not be able to do anymore of what Mesa is giving up.

SkyNation:

The union? How is the union supposed to make management staff the airline properly? Are they supposed to start running their own interviews?

 

[T-prop]

tell them not to worry, their union will protect them from this and other bad things that could happen to them.

You're right!! If JO was at the helm of Skywest, it would be the most awsomest place to work!! Like SWA times 30!! Because you don't have a union. Right?

Unions exist because of that jacka$$!! I know it is hard to comprehend...it's hard for me, but Mesa would be worse off with out one.

You're lucky to have good management. So is SWA, however, they still have a union. Every major airline that you want to go to has a union, don't they?

Just be thankful that you don't have JO over there. Vote in a union before a student of his becomes your next CEO.

[CFIse]

The thought of losing vacation makes me sick, sick to my stomach I tell you. Hmmm, whats this, sick time, oh well guess I'd better call off the trip.

I guess a bunch of pilots don't do that, but I'm surprised they don't.

So another friend who is on vacation in Florida today received a call telling him that he needs to come back to work immediately.

Why on earth would he answer the phone on vacation?

 

[Pilot124]

Why on earth would he answer the phone on vacation?

He didn't. The guy at the front desk informed him he could not check into his room till he calls scheduling.:smash:

 

[front9]

What?...Wait....if the dude is on vacation and checking-in to a hotel that he paid for how can the hotel hold your room hostage? F-Mesa and their crew schedulers!

 

[Pilot124]

What?...Wait....if the dude is on vacation and checking-in to a hotel that he paid for how can the hotel hold your room hostage? F-Mesa and their crew schedulers!

Dude it was a joke but I have heard from buddies they will not let you check in to your room on overnights if you don't contact CT to be J/A.:smash:

 

[Boris Badenov]

F-Mesa and their crew schedulers!

Please. "Crew Trackers" is the preferred nomenclature. I submit to you that this is not an accident.

I picture "Dog the Bounty-Hunter" in JO's office, receiving dossiers.

 

[rumrnr78]

Everyone who took a job at Mesa knew they where bringing down the industry! There is no excuse, so good for them!!

 

[relief tube]

exactly!!!!.....loosing vacation sucks but the part of me that doesn't respect the people working for mesa is revelling in this.
