Mesaba Airlines and Pilots Reach TA

I saw that 2425 at the airport once, he was emptying out the lav...

the union that while flawed, protects it and the safety of my family.

Why do you have to rely on someone else to provide safety for your family? And why would you want to?

Jetset,

Actually the guy who does our lav changes most often is a great guy, works hard and supports the pilots 100%. Can't be 2425. No Way!

Hopefully, the additional (and deserved pay) for Mesaba pilots will come from 2425's paycheck.

A cut of 15% for this lazy slacker is long overdue.

Anybody agree ?

 

[vc10]

15% of nothing is nothing...

By the way, Mesaba2425:

I don't know which approach to take, since you are too much of a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** to explain yourself to anyone here.

Hmmmmm I didn't realize the board censored MORON. Oh, wait, it doesn't. I wonder what word he chose instead of moron....

Congrats mesaba guys, don't worry about people on this level of 2425 because eagles always soar above bugs that don't even fly well.
And thanks to raise the bar.

GOD bless you

Great job holding the line and not backing down. All the best and I hope my MEC(MAG) takes note and will have the B@lls next time!!

I agree with the sentiment, but is this the gayest thing you've ever read on FlightInfo?

Per the NWAC pilot contract the AVRO can only be replaced by a 44 seat or less aircraft. So, when the AVRO goes so does the ability for any of NWAC's feeders to fly aircraft larger than 44 seats.

NWAC and other majors want their regionals flying larger than 44 seat aircraft. If NWA Management lets the AVRO disappear they just lost a scope battle.

really?

Boy. That sucks. If that is the case, Pinnacle will have to get rid of all of their 50-seater CRJs then.

Actually, they way I read the NWA ALPA contract, IF the Avro goes away then NWA can add 36 more (one for one) RJs, which by the NWA ALPA definintion can seat up to 55. This 36 would not be subject to the Narrow-Body fleet size limits as other portions of the RJ fleet at the Airlink carriers are.

IF the Avro fleet goes away, then NWA loses any presence in the 70 seat arena, until or unless, they secure scope relief from thier pilots. How much it will cost them, and NWA's willingness to pay those costs remain up in the air, but I suspect the cost will be high.

unfortunately.. the Avro can be replaced by the 50 seater.. Personally I think the AVvor is MUCH more comfortable that the 50 seater.

We have been told we are getting a few more 50's.. I "assume" and it is ONLY an assumption the few more we are getting is from the retirement of the 5 Avro's...

Actually I think we are only getting 3 more 50's..

I still think RJ's are in Mesaba's future.. what else is our management and NWA going to have in 18 months to use agins the Pinnacle pilots?

One battle one and many more to go to make regional pilots life a little better..
