[BlackPilot628]

FYI, i spend most of my time checking out the ladies in CLT, MCO, AUS, PHL....not the pilots.

You keep looking at those Ladies with that Mesa Jacket on. You "gets" none!

Hi.
I am not trying to start a war here but I was just wondering why Mesa has such a bad reputation? From what I read, poeple often talk about the wages. I was comparing the payscales between Mesa and PSA and they are not much different. So why PSA is not getting bashed as Mesa is?
This is not a flame bait just an honest question.

I happen to know a quite a few Mesa pilots most are very professional, ok they do have a few randoms but don't we all.
Instead of us ripping the S__t out of each other, why don't we all stand together. Tell the managers and our MEC's thats enough is enough this is all there getting. Maybe then they'll realize that cutting labor cost isn't the only way to increase profit. They may have to be creative to create more revenue, after all they are managers. For them to do this we ALL as a collective group (pilot group) have to fix the cost of labor.
Anyone think this is possible?

Because PSA is not trying to take over the world.

You also can't just compare hourly rates. PSA pilots would get paid for more hours of work due to better work rules.

Windbreaker

How much are mesa windbreakers selling for on eBay?

Maybe you could all donate them to the redcross or some other group.

Thats what I thought. Can someone elaborate a little?

I think you'll be amazed at the similarities between a company such as Mesa versus Wal-Mart.

You are a total idiot. Yes Mesa and Walmart are the same. Wal-mart will screw the supplier out of paying him until his product clears the shelf. Kind of like you holding for two hours and getting paid for an hour of flight. How are those block times working out. Also you Idiot Wal-Mart may not pay the supplier for three years yet the supplier has to pay his workers, and in his contract the supplier can't sell to anyone else. By the way how is that U.S. air flying out CLT doing?. I'm glad you choose to make the comparision between Wal-mart and mesa. Remember back in the mid 90's when Wal-marts slogan was american made, but actually make in China. Your right you are like Wal-mart will to sell your life to someone so they can get rich. I hope JO keeps up his low wages for all of you.

My buddy flies for Mesa and I used to work at Mesaba. As captains, he always made 5-10 dollars per hour more than myself. As FO's he was always ahead by a couple of bucks. I was a Saab pilot and he was/is in a 50 seat jet.

That being said, I always earned much more on the W2's and averaged 40 more days off per year. Why??? Their contract is in the stone ages. 22% of them had some courage in '03 to put a stop to the madness. 78% thought that this contract was right in line with what an airline pilot contract should look like. $1.15 for per diem. What a joke.

And yes, he says the same thing about the uniforms. He is absolutely embarrassed to be associated with the windbreaker guys.

Because MESA's rates were/are so low that every other management in the US has now used the threat of outsourcing to MESA if the pilot group does not take concessions. And the result? look at all the code shares MESA has.

omg...people really really really really really hate mesa... I mean the other day i was doing a leg from ord to sbn and my captain would let a captain from mesa jumpseat on our plane. I mean there were seats in the back of the plane and my captain told the lady she couldnt ride on the airplane... And when she asked if we were weight retricted.

Here is even the the scarier part. After there was some argument between this lady and my captain. My captain actually had the nerve to tell this lady that the reason why nobody makes any money in this industry is because of mesa airlines.

And without even skipping a beat hey just turned his had a walked away.

See, that's crap! Mesa sucks a big one, but you DO NOT use jumpseat as a weapon in this fight. I hope someone pulls this captain aside and sets him straight because there is no reason for this.

Jumpseating is a professional courtesy that many depend on. For all you know, next time you need a ride, you'll run into this lady Mesa captain who will tell you to take a hike, all on account of that jerk captain.

This is a very small industry... better set that jerk straight.

dwhsunday...hmmmm...dwhsunday....that name really, really sounds familiar. Where do I remember that name from? Hmmmmm...

Oh yeah...THAT'S IT!

Care to remind us all why you're so bitter at Mesa dwhsunday? Seems like you were really interested in working here at one point in time. Or was that did work here...for a time.

 

[dwhsunday]

Not bitter at all for being fired on the first day. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. You even said your self in other posts not to work for Mesa, the funny thing you still remember me. Your sister says hi.
