Any wonder why the PROFESSIONAL pilots here are willing to walk away?
But we've yet to see any pilots walk away en masse. Only threats and saber rattling.
Everyone keeps saying that someone needs to take one for the team, but no one is willing to be the first ones to do it.
As long as that is the case you can bet who will ALWAYS have the upper hand.
If this is really because they will not get hotels for stand ups then MESA MANAGEMENT SUCKS AZZ. YOU PEOPLE ARE THE INDUSTRY DEVIL-BURN IN HELL. (please note that I am talking about the management not the pilots)
every pilot group that's gotten raped over the past 5 years.
Maybe I am reading this wrong but WTF is with doing 4 legs on a redeye pairing??? That is just plain stupid and not safe. At ExpressJet it is 2 legs maximum and they limit the sit time. Usually LAX to somewhere in Mexico and then IAH. Most redeye pairings are 1 leg and you are done. There is no way that you guys are safe if you are doing 4 legs. That is complete BS and you should call in Fatigued! I know I wouldn't be getting on that PHX-TUS flight or the TUS-LAS as a passenger....
It's a sad state of affairs when that's what it would take to affect positive change. Can someone tell me if the FAA is aware of what's going on?
Why would the FAA care? It's not illegal what they are doing.
Yes, now, I would like to see that happen.No the FAA wouldn't care, but I'll be the Arizona Republic may be interested to hear how the pilots of the aircraft flying out of Phoenix are living while they're on the road. I can't imagine the shock value that article would have. Anonymously written of course!

You don't have to quit. Just call in fatigued every time. You -know- it's not safe, so don't do it. One day your luck is going to run out, the worst is going to happen, and you're going to be too tired to get yourself and your trusting pax out of it alive.
CALL IN FATIGUED. Be a professional. And demand to be treated as such.
How about having the Arizona Republic read this thread? Seriously. All they need is a lead.
