Mesa Furlough additional 200 Pilots

[Fltlvls]

The ********************bag contract that was forced on the Mesa pilots around 7 years ago.

Which battle would you fight?..Stop the alter ego carrier that was stealing your flying or stop the alter ego all together and recover the flying you were losing and settle for the same contract.Always easier to be the armchair QB when you were not faced with that situation.

That is what many conveniently forget to mention when they stand to trash Mesa. I understand why they did what they did. However, what I don't have much pity for are the guys that saw quick upgrade and on to the majors.... I know there were a great deal that went to Mesa on those premises. Now they are paying a price for going to an organization they knew to be bad. If people would quit applying to places like that, the problem would solve itself. Just like the Go Jet situation with TSA. The problem nearly was resolved when they didn't have applications coming through. There was some pressure to merge the lists to get applicants. Sadly, it didn't last long enough so now TSH has its very own whipsaw.

Arent they going to file an appeal that would take until at least December to resolve? This would at least buy some of these people some time to find another job...and I cant understand why they would furlough until they know the status of the appeal..these ERJ's are not going to go away overnight...its going to take AT LEAST two months for Delta to weed them out of the system...Mesa or not, they have mortgages and kids just like everyone else..noone deserves this crap...

The people factor sucks, but remember,the people at Mesa now ALL HAD opportunities to move on in the past 5 years and chose not to. They chose the "early upgrade" and have the "get at a regional and move on as fast as you can" and the "its not a bad place to "stick it out"" mentality. I am out of sympathy for Mesa.
