Mesaba -- No Confidence Vote

Mesaba workers vote no confidence in company executives MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pilots, flight attendants and mechanics at Mesaba Airlines have approved a no-confidence vote against company executives, calling for their removal and claiming they haven't acted in the best interest of employees.
The worker groups say the regional carrier and its parent company, MAIR Holdings, is trying to use the bankruptcy process to achieve wage and benefit cuts for its workers. Mesaba has "put the employees' careers, livelihoods and futures at risk," according to a news release from the Air Line Pilots Association.
The labor groups plan a picketing demonstration Wednesday afternoon at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Mesaba flies under the Northwest Airlink name, ferrying passengers into Northwest Airlines hubs. Northwest, Mesaba's only customer, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sept. 14 and Mesaba followed on Oct. 13.
In North Dakota, Mesaba provides the only commercial service for the cities of Devils Lake and Jamestown. It also serves Fargo and Grand Forks and has some flights into Bismarck.



What could Management have done better?

The vote means nothing.

Neither does STFD. It's a feel good measure. Shutting down Mesaba means nothing to the CEO's or this industry.

I don't know about that. In Epidsode II, when Queen Amadala moved for the vote of no confidence which put Senator Palpatine in charge, it rocked the galaxy.

I didn't think a vote of no confidence existed except in the picture shows.

The best vote of no confidence is for everyone to just quit one day. Everyone just form a line and drop the ID's in a pile.
Kinda like in Robocop 3 when all the cops just quit to fight Omicron Corp.

The vote means nothing.

MAIR had its 3rd quarter conference call this morning. Investors are well aware of the press release of the no confidence vote. An investor questioned Foley about the press release and what might happen if the pilots strike. Foley could not answer it at 1st and then said he hopes they can come to a consensual agreement. You can hear it here and type 32435 in the event. It is about 9 minutes into the call.

Get informed! It does mean something. We need educated pilots who understand the process...not nay sayers and the ignorant. Get informed!
