Mesa wonderful TA lol

[350DRIVER]

hhab,
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it... Obviously in the back of my mind I did feel that those "initial" Freedom pilots who went against the grain and undercut Mesa would still be perceived as "evil". I was just not completely sure "IF" (which seems to be a big "if" ) you guys do approve of this contract and Freedom does become part of the Mesa Air Group if people who applied to Freedom and accepted a job that they would also be black listed and looked down upon by other Mesa pilots which seems will still be the case. I guess there is much much more than meets the eye.... I do not think that is fair that a FO on a 1900 PIT based could not bid the right seat of an RJ. Seems like this will create much more animosity and bitterness.

I truly hope that in the future you all will get what you have earned and deserved.

thanks again,

Ps>> trying to locate an old friend who is/or was a 1900 captain
Bryan Benner, I think he was Farmington based who was trying to get back to PIT last I heard.- Lost his email address/phone number and any help would be appreciated.??

Bryan shoot me a PM if u are on the board

A couple of questions.... First, what are the current pay rates for Mesa and Freedom? Second, can anyone on here that has the freedom list please post it so those of us at other airlines who support you guys can carry it with us? I know ALPA National opposes Freedom, so I believe that they would actually have to grant amnesty to those guys before they couls come back into the fold. Those with no airline experience who were hired off the street would probably be accepted in pretty easily, but those who jumped ship from ALPA and stabed us all in the back might have a problem during an integration, and since they have no union protection, it is concievable that the 4% would not be alowed back in, and would loose their jobs. Sounds like justice to me.

There is no doubt that this TA is a POS, but it all comes down to bargaining power. Thanks to the Freedom guys, we basically don't have any. Also, we had to make some sacrifices to get the CCAir guys their much deserved jobs back.

I wouldn't have had any problem with that contract if it were only a 2-year deal, but 4 and a half sucks.

Just makes me that much more motivated to get the hell out Mesa. When are they forecasting the industry upturn?

Every RJ that goes to Mesa will make it harder and harder to Leave Mesa. These jets are replacing the good jobs. The larger the Rj, the longer you can expect to enjoy your life at Mesa. Hopefully, the guys that fight the hardest for more and larger rj's are the lifers. That way they get to reap the full benefit of what they have fought so hard to sow. If some RJDC guys get their way, that "industry upturn" you are hoping for will never come. Good Luck

I respect the Mesa pilots that have the sack to vote no! I can tell you from experience; You will be shocked at what a high percentage this will pass by. Then everyone who voted yes will be complaining the most and claiming they voted no. I'm sorry.
