Thanks for showing management and the world your courage and professionalism. I hope to do the same in the near future. Thanks for setting such a great example. Let me know if I can help.

Bump...As a former Mesaba pilot I hope you guys get everything you want...you guys bust you collective butts, especially in the UP weather, to keep that company profitible. GO GET YOURS!!! If any of you are stuck in one of my cities on the 10th, welcome aboard.

Bump

From another ASA pilot. Shut the place down cold !!!

 

[Simon Says]

For all pinnacle pilots........the MEM strike center is located right next door to your MEC offices on Airways BLVD. So come on over and check it out.

 

[fly4ever]

17 days and counting - we appreciate the support. Also, good luck to ACA guys/gals. Any company that can defeat JO at his own game is all right with me.

ASA Support

Yet another round of support from an ASA brother...

Thank you Mesaba for realizing not only are you fighting for your own contract, but also for the impact this has on the entire "regional" industry. Stop the race to the bottom. I support you 110%.

I have to put it my 2 cents. I understand that a strike and making a stand is the "noble" thing to do. I do understand your reason for doing so. But I just want everyone to realize that if you strike and if you drive the company out of business that many people are going to be out of work. I for one have already received my furlough notice if a strike happens as well as all of the other AMFA members. I have no idea how I am going to pay for my kid's meals or my mortgage payment. I have been talking to many pilots with the attitude of "if the company goes under, I will just work at home depot, it pays more". Well I for one like my job at mesaba and would like to keep it. If you don't like it here then go and work at home depot, there are 10 for every one of you that would love to get the chance to work commercial aviation. Just because the industry sucks right now and no one is moving to the left seat as fast as they would like its not the company's problem to pay you more. Every single one of you were kissing as much ass and doing whatever it was to make it your dream and get that commercial job. Now that you are there you are talking so tough. Just think about the rest of us at mesaba that love our job and that have no where else to go if you strike.

Some good points, but failed to mention our current FOs cant support a family even while working. Especially after they take the pay cut the company is offering.
(5% first year increase, and 1% therafter at a reduced guarentee of 70 hours is a pay cut!)

Additionally, none of us hates our jobs, just our leadership. I very much enjoy going to work for Mesaba. I very much enjoy the people I work with, even middle management. Hell, probly even you!

Your ignorant (not stupid, just ill-informed). You need to get the facts from someone that recieves no gain from lying to you, so you get only the truth. Otherwise you'll have a bunch of XJ pilots posting this type of ridicule the next time you want to keep up with inflation to support your family!

I believe Patton said the following ,
"I'd rather have the Germans in front of me, than the French behind me!"

Don't be French!
