Mesa TA Q&A From alpa.org

[big dog1]

Anyone in the 1900 should look long and hard at the wording here.
This appears to be the company's way of saying "If we sell AMW, you
guys go with it. But don't worry, we'll guarantee you an interview
with the prospective buyer-hope everything works out for you in the
end. Best of luck. See ya." Our MEC has stated that none of the
junior pilots would be sold out. Yeah, right. This is nothing more
than a subversive way to make room on the "all jet" seniority list
for the suckers at San Juan who continually pump money into the
company coffers, and are willing to live on rice and beans. Nothing
more than a continual way for JO to draw FO's into the loop for a few
years, while protecting senior captains and furlouged mainline guys.
I'm in the jet, and senior enough not to worry. But I'm still going
to vote "no" on principle. Andy, Don, and anyone else
who "negotiated" on behalf of the pilot group, this is pathetic. I'd
advise all you 1900 drivers to ask alot of questions at the
roadshows. You could be pilots without a company before long. I
smell several lawsuits. Vote "no". Take the furlough if it
happens. When the NMB rules that Freedom is illegitimate, you'll be
back to work in no time, and hopefully some of the clowns who
orchestrated this mess will be the ones out on the street.

Just Dandy, a different airline telling me to vote no. You have no right to tell us how to vote. This is an in-house matter. Why we air our dirty laundry on public forums is only to keep you in the rumor loop. So you all know whats really happening and not wild rumors. Read the posts and comment but dont tell us how to vote.

I find it interesting that Mesa will have industry leading scope, when in fact, they take advantage of other airlines scope. The only reason they exist is because of major airlines scope clauses that allow them. Us Airways scope was pretty much flushed down the toilet during their concessions, now Mesa is infesting the place!

I hope you all vote no. The Mesa image is going to remain in the Lav if you do not demand better!
