Do they get 9 days off a month now?

No 11 for line holders and reserves.


So it passed by 51%. J.O. gave us the least that he possibly could have. He did his job perfectly. If you voted yes don't plan on bitching about this contract when the gang in the crystal palace start to abuse the language. I don’t want to hear it.

The real screw job is to the training department. They loose 96 Hrs. per year.

There are no pay raises in this for the life of the contract for CPT. Just 2.1% for F.O.s.

We will have 100% pay protection. That will come in handy in ORD and IAD this winter.

200+ pilots who were elgible to vote did not. Some of them could have made the difference.

Why would you be angry at ALPA National? They had nothing to do with this.

 

[blackbird]

Does this mean less than 60% of Mesa pilots actually got involved in this process? wow!!

ALPA national reviewed this TA with the MEC and said in their opinion it was the best the Mesa pilot group could get fot the "times" . In their opinion along with the MEC, take a two year TA now, then negitiate later for a better contract when Mesa is in a better financial situation. I voted no on this TA regardless of the "situation"

 

[NoJoy]

76% of the pilots voted. It should have been closer to 90% on something this important.

 

[plunger]

Hopefully you all got block or better. That way you can stop taxiing like idiots.

 

[labbats]

$50 says everyone you talk to at Mesa says they voted no. Just another day in the life.

The battle cry of the ALPA apologist...

They take credit for everything good that ever happened in this industry (including, I assume, the invention of the airplane).

But any time something goes wrong, it's always "It's not national's fault, it's all up to your local pilot group". So why pay dues to national then?

Personally I think national is remiss in it's obligation to all of it's members if it allows a pilot group like mesa to negotiate an industry-lagging contract without adult supervision.
