Ahh. but the Pro Standards chick is reasonably hot...... Wait, is that sexual harassment?

She's "AVIATION HOT." Get her in the real world, and she's just another girl.

Put her in an airplane, and she's Jessica Simpson.

There is a message in this and a lesson to be learned.......

The MEC along with Pro Stan is telling you straight up... that if you come to MESA....YOU WILL BE BENT OVER THE KITCHEN SINK.....AND YOU WILL LIKE IT. We, the UNION at MAG, are not strong enough, nor unified enough to fight this. So it is our recommendation that you smile, be nice, and take it....up the you know where.....for 15 minutes or 15 years, your choice!

At least thats what I heard.

The contract requires hotel rooms of overnights greater than 4 hours.

Some CRJ PHX based overnight flying out of LAS will take you to -- say COS for example -- and back with less than 4 hours so no hotel room. With nowhere to go at 3-4am the crews "camp out" on the aircraft until the next flight, typically in the 5:30 to 6am time frame.

Sounds like an organization stepping over a dollar to save a penny. Just leaving the APU running for that time period would easily burn $2-300 in fuel, while hotel rooms would cost perhaps $150-200.

I work for Mesa and I cant ********************n believe our worthless union put this POS ******************** out. What a waste of union dues and resources. I almost couldn't even make it through the whole video. This video makes our pilot group look like a bunch of weak company types. They should have made a video concerning contractual rights and what the company can and can't do to their pilots. I swear most new pilots are absolutely clueless when it comes to their contractual rights and accept everything that the company gives them.I am embarrassed to even work at this company now and more pissed than ever before. Besides our POS contract, I now know why some many others pilots cringe when the word mesa comes up

While true this doesn't effect JO -- your airline or holding company pays for the fuel, not him.

True, but name a regional that is not getting bent over the sink right now?

I have come to learn that "Union" really only means for the employees of UA, US, DL etc.... regional unions are like high school clubs, only less organized.

You all missed the best quote of all

" Really? what are you wearing? Oh, hey KEN I gotta go "

most likely a shot taken at Mesa's CP..his first name is Ken

That's what's so g.d. funny about this video -- if you understand all the inside jokes, etc. Every segment has one. One of the guys on a "don't do this" situation actually did what he is showing in the video. I admire him/think it's great that he's able to have fun like that and laugh at himself.

As for saying 'you will get bent over' those who say this misunderstand the purpose of the video. The "don't do this" situations are so obvious only a moron wouldn't get it. Those people you can't help.

But the video is important for several reasons: 1) it exposes the airline's "people first" weaknesses right in time as JO is telling everyone in HI how wonderful Mesa is 2) it creates bargaining capital at the negogiating table -- the last thing JO wants is to be embarassed in public. He blew a gasket at informational picketing in PHX. The threat of another potentially more embarassing video is an enticement 3) don't forget about the shareholders and the board as the stock is trading near a 52 week low... hmmm why is that? eveything is so wonderful, right? this video does not help spread the love let's say (rumor has it we lose a codeshare and JO gets the boot) 4) finally I think it is more an embarassment to ALPA... we are coming up to 10 years with ALPA on the property and this is all you guys can do? conditions at the top will never stabilize while the base erodes
