...Then don't ever let me hear an ACA pilot say a single word about Mesa, SKW, or anyone else.
At least CHQ has some backbone

All Will Cave, Mesa was first in line, but eventually all will cave.

I'd really be surprised if CHQ gets released for the 30 day cooling off period by the nmb, but if they do, and they strike, I wish them the best.

The Tentative Agreement was ratified by 69.95%

An interesting coincidence: The APA (AA pilots) voted in favor of their concessionary contract by 69%.
(Yes, I know 69.95 rounds to 70 but it's still darned close.)

Now lets see all this "growth". Oh...did we promise growth?

The announcement for the 70 seaters should be made by the morning.

You guys are fuking killing me here! What the fuk is wrong with everyone.

OK here is the revised list

1 MESA
2 Skywest
3 ACA

While I am not surprised this passed, I agree the real issue will be to see if ACA has an order for 70's tomorrow. Hope you guys aren't furloughing anymore.

Skootertrash,

Easy on your "professional vocabulary". And if your making this list of airlines to bash for signing consessions why did you leave out Air Whiskey? Didn't they sign a seven year contract? Who do you work for?

Skooter,
What is wrong? The economy is down. The amount of competition is up (way up...) Too many airplanes and too many pilots chasing too few passengers who refuse to pay more than Wal-Mart prices. Supply and Demand.

Sorry, you're right, Mesa, Air Whiskey, Skywest and now ACA.

So far, Air Whiskey's was worse because not only did they sign off on a 7 year deal, they took concessions. At least Mesa got some raises and only a 5 yr deal. Mesa still has a crummy deal, but nobody is out there saving the industry.

All will Cave.
