Mesa Pro Stan's Video...Hilarious

[NEDude]

If it is real, then the company, and Pro-Stans, are totally out of line expecting a pilots family member to skip Chemo appointments. Working for UPS isn't worth that, let alone Mesa.

Someone please forward this to the MAG MEC.

PLEASE!!!!!!!

I can see the attempts at humor in this but seeing the facts on working conditions at Mesa takes away all the laughs. I am all for making the most of a crappy situation but this is ridiculous.

There is a culture of disregard, disrespect and downright abuse toward pilots at that airline. The 'actors' in this training film wallow in the indiscretions against them and try to teach their viewers (presumably mesa pilots) common courtesy. You're either courteous, or you're not. This video is a waste of union resources if they're trying to teach Flyin' Ryan to be courteous.

So what was the point, teach us manners or show the viewers that working at Mesa is truly as bad as we all think?

Mesa Sucks

Such a worthless group of people. I won't talk to, nor acknowledge these skum bags.

To even have to make a video like this indicate the level of skum bags working at this airline. I stopped watching after watching this skum bag get **denied** the jumpseat twice!!

By reading this thread and responding to the previous posts you are acknowledging us "skum bags" (sic). Do you like your hipocracy served hard boiled or sunny side up?

I am, however, 100% certain you would speak to or acknowledge a Mesa pilot if you needed a free ride somewhere.

Dude, all I can say is that it must be your attitude. I was in IAD on a really crappy night trying to get to LGA. All of the flights were delayed, except for a HPN flight that was leaving at the same time as the 3 hour delayed LGA. I decided, that since the LGA flight was over-sold and weight limited that I would take the HPN flight. I saw the CA in the terminal and told him my situation ( my car is parked in LGA). He told me he lived near there and he would drive me to my car! This is no joke.

I also talked to the LGA CA and told him what was going on, and he said he wasn't weight limited at all, and got me on his flight to LGA. Since the HPN CA gave me his cell # I called and thanked him, and said I was getting on another flight.

You know, we all came to different regionals for different reasons, QOL, PAY, Base, Upgrade, Timing, or just getting hired there. No reason to bash the MESA guy's. I don't work for them but the ones I have met have been some of the nicest guy's/girls out there.

CRJ_Driver, you are a Dick!

Get over your 2000 hr FO self.

Watched about 4 minutes worth and some dork with spiked hair and thumb ring played the good-jumpseater bad-jumpseater role. I think I'll go throw-up now.

gay....

Is this the first on-camera discussion of "camping trips"?

How much did this production cost? Your ALPA dues hard at work.

I have great sympathy for Mesa pilots concerning their work conditions and this video. Just keep those apps going at other airlines, you will escape eventually.

I think this video might just be a brilliant attempt at sarcasm and satire in an attempt to embarrass ALPA national into some form of action when there contract comes up in less than a year.

Think about it how else does an MEC put out a video for nationwide distribution to say what a complete piece of sh-t there airline is, and they need bigtime help from ALPA, to either fix their working conditions or shut it down.

No I don't work there but as long as ALPA does nothing regional feed will go to the lowest bidder, further eroding future mainline jobs. We should support Mesa in their upcoming strike.

After watching in again, I totally agree!

All..........

I watched this video and commented on it a few days ago by ressurecting an old thread. maybe you missed it...

MAG is cleaning up AH's mess. They have allot of work to do. Give them credit for taking ownership of thier situation.

ALPA National isn't going to be embarrassed into action for a better Mesa contract. A better Mesa contract is going to come from the Mesa pilots and ALL ALPA PILOTS SUPPORTING MESA!!!! I do like your last paragraph though...

We can either continue to chide and dis Mesa.... If we do then they'll get another crappy contract we have to deal with.. Or we can support them and help them get a good one that we can leverage for our own negotiations.

What can you control? You can't control a vote on a MAG contract if you are not a MAG pilot... but you can control your unification and support.

Chemo? Again.. those that don't understand... Situations like that don't just happen at MAG. It's real, and until your wife or child is in that situation, simply smile, support your fellow pilot and ask how you can help. Period!

Again, MAG MEC is cleaning up AH's dump. Let's help them out..

At first it appeared like the MEC was endorsing things like camping on the jet. On second thought, now it looks like the guy in the Vietnamise prison camp blinking out TORTURE in morse code, when taken to his televised mock trial. You guys remember that dude right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Denton

"The Navy Cross is presented to Jeremiah A. Denton, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam from February 1966 to May 1966. Under constant pressure from North Vietnamese interrogators and guards, Rear Admiral Denton (then Commander) experienced harassment, intimidation and ruthless treatment in their attempt to gain military information and cooperative participation for propaganda purposes. During this prolonged period of physical and mental agony, he heroically resisted cruelties and continued to promulgate resistance policy and detailed instructions. Forced to attend a press conference with a Japanese correspondent, he blinked out a distress message in Morse Code at the television camera and was understood by United States Naval Intelligence. When this courageous act was reported to the North Vietnamese, he was again subjected to severe brutalities. Displaying extraordinary skill, fearless dedication to duty, and resourcefulness, he reflected great credit upon himself, and upheld the highest traditions of the Naval Service and the United States Armed Forces."

I like the "living in a van down by the river" comment. There are choices in life. If you choose the 4 letter word, Mesa.......happy camping. Hope the fish are biting. Pathetic......

This so-called "Profession" for pilots has turned to this? Sarcasm and a video on how you should act as a professional? Let's see, when I'm fatigued because I just flew 6 legs on a 15 hour day down to mins, I need to be told by my MEC that I still need to act like a professional at the counter in front of the flying public? You need to make a video of this? What to wear and how to carry yourself in the terminal? Sounds like a lack af adequate parental guidance growing up to me.

Making a point to management with this sarcastic video? Try organizing and all walking off the job one day to make a statement about the working conditions or pay. How about living your life with a set of values that you will not relinquish at all costs?

This is America folks.......The Land of Opportunity. Take advantage of it.
