As a pilot at Mesa I though that perhaps once just once we could have a strong hand in turning the tide in the regional world of contracts. I am so frustrated at ALPA for even letting this go to vote.

Shame on you first of all....but for the 418..... each and everyday that I continue to get screwed it will be because of you. It will be because of you that I have to have to commute under a commuter clause that states 1 time a year I am exempt for not being to get to work at JFK!!! JFK for god sakes.
Are you so stupid to agree to this amongst so many other things. B & B tied to PBS etc. You know what you agreed to. The 418 are selfish and deserve every single mesa sucks comment on the board.
 
Instead of blaming the 418 who did vote, why don't you bash the 200+ eligible voters who chose not to vote at all?

It's your own personal decision to vote yes or no. I'm sure the 418 who voted yes had their reasons, just as the 400 who voted no had theirs. But tell me why over 200 eligible voters didn't even bother voting? Your blame should fall on them for the outcome of this TA passing.
 
pilot22 go to mesahub.com to get your "400" sticker if you voted no.

exactly!! The pilot group is not ready to take on MGT. You've got 200+ guys on property who can care less about what goes on at MAG. You cant possibly believe that the MAG pilot group has the solidarity to take on the crystal palace. Not only does company culture need to change, so does the pilot group mind state as well

Generally, the rank and file pilots of regional airlines don't have the inclination to do anything and its foolish to put the world in their hands. It is up to the leadership to move the profession in a positive direction. Instead of the Mesa MEC standing up and charting a coarse for their pilots to achieve a professional level contract they hide behind their pilots unwillingness to stand up for themselves and they took the easy money and ran.

My fellow Pinnacle pilots have stood strong for over four years of negotiating because we refuse to settle for a 1990's style "commuter" contract. Our brothers and sisters at ASA made a similar stand recently. What will it take for Mesa to get some leadership in their MEC?

1.Blaming ALPA is the wrong mid state to have.You should rally behind your pilot leadership.Everyother ALPA carrier does. In the end its the PILOT GROUP that votes in a contract.

2. If this TA would have not gotten ratified you would still be getting screwed under the old CBA. So whats the diff?

3. Ive been commuting to JFK for over a year... Never had any trouble.

again..be mad at the 200+ that didnt vote. not the 418

The MAG mec have tried many time to rally this group!! Its the pilot lazyness that is the problem. I

Me: Did you got to any road shows?
Pilot: No
Me: Why not?
Pilot: It was my day off......

Me: Did you watch any roadshows online or attend a conference call?
Pilot: no
Me: Why not?
Pilot: Didnt feel like it

Me: IF this TA fails.. Are you ready to picket?
Pilot: For what? Not on my day off

Ive had many convos like this in the crew rooms.. Its not ALPA leadership, its pilot lazyness
