Mesa pilots pretty much gave it all up in '05 to get Freedumb on the ALPA list.
Gave it all up... I didn't know they ever won anything to give up to begin with.

Isn't Freedom the non-union airline that Mesa opened up to whipsaw against the Mesa ALPA pilots during contract negotiations? If so then I hope they are bearing the brunt of the furloughs and no I don't feel sorry for them. Despite what many of you think of Mesa as a company, their pilots are dues paying ALPA members who have been put through the ringer. They are no different than you or I, they took the first RJ job they could get and stuck with it to get the time to move onto to bigger and better pastures. If I am correct in my recollection of the start of Freedom, then they rank right up there with GoJets in my book.
If I am wrong, please correct me and accept my apology in advance. If not, enjoy unemployment as your furlough has just helped an ALPA member remain employed.

If I remember correctly we had asked DELTA and Comair's MEC's if they would allow us to fly for them on MESA's cert instead of Freedom.
What the heck does the Comair MEC have to do with choosing what airplanes fly on Mesa's certificates?
