Nancy Pryor said:This is priceless. Mesa has to come up with a "peace offering to the industry"? It's not Mesa pilots doing the endless attacking, they are the ones being endlessly attacked, blamed and vilified by some other regional pilots who think they're superior because they happen to work at a regional with a better contract. Maybe any peace offering should come from those who have been doing the attacking, not those being attacked.
Since you're deciding what other regional pilots are required to do to get into "other regionals good graces", now that their vote is in what should the Comair pilots do to meet your approval?
Don't put words in my mouth Nancy. I didn't write that they have to come up with anything nor did I 'decide' what anyone had to do for anyone to be in good graces. I Commute on Mesa quite a bit now that AWAC's on the east coast and have had great experiences, I'm pulling for Mesa seriously. I was trying to be encouraging that's all.
The facts are that Comair walked in 2001 and got a damn good contract, while since then Mesa has been awarded flying that many other regionals used to do. I'm fine with them, they were just the latest carrier up against a Mesa whipsaw with a bankrupt major. Tell me how many carriers has Comair replaced flying for at other regionals please? This industry has only hit rock bottom when the Mesa pilots and other low cost regionals have decided so, grow a spine and negotiate a better contract.
