Mesa Pro Stan's Video...Hilarious

"Camping Out"? Can someone explain that?

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.

Oh. Thanks.

Or that some of them wear backpacks.

I heard that "camping out" referred to the new hires from the Mesa Pilot
Development Program "pitching tents" at the prospect of sitting in the right seat of an RJ after 250 hours.

I think back in the day, Mesa crews used to sleep on the airplanes on stand up overnights.

Back in the day? If yesterday was "back in the day", you are correct.

Ha! And for the ladies, it's called "damping out."

I cant believe i watched that stupid video.

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.

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

Sorry I can't see the video, where is the site or can you post a new link?

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 "
