I dont think that letters legit.

Letter is legit, at least according to MESA management. Copy was sent to the pilots as well, no joke.

As far as the truth to the letter... from someone who has lived UAX ORD, many of his points are VERY true. Is attrition worse at ORD/IAD than the other Mesa domiciles? Hell yes... but that has a lot to do with seniority, also. IAD and ORD are the junior bases... more cancellations, lower pay (no 900s), etc. That doesn't mean that its UNITED's fault that they're leaving. Mesa could sustain the pilots and the operation for UAX (staffing issues, at least), but they chose not to fix the REAL problem that underlys the attrition problem... THE PILOT AND FLIGHT ATTENDANT CONTRACTS.

Its a classic example of "Pass the buck". United screws Mesa, Mesa screws its employees.

You're a retard. XJT, not long ago, was far worse than Mesa. Regional airlines, dude... flavor of the day. Pissing on and wishing ill will on other pilots with "inferior" contracts is NOT in your best interest. You should be hoping that things will improve everywhere. I can't beleive how strong the koolade is at XJT... might be a better contract than Mesa or CHQ, but its still s#it by the standards an airline pilot should have. I guess all the ranting from the XJT crews should be expected... bunch of primadonas. XJT was already hiring guys with 600 hours 2-3 years ago!!

Incidentally, Mesa doesn't even have a Philly domicile... shows how aware you are. Besides, who in their right mind would want to live or be based in Philadumpster (aka Filthadelphia) anyway?!

Ornstein bitchin' about the contract is a joke. That idiot signed it, and now he's stuck with it. What a fukcing baby.

just goes to show that JO does not like the taste of his own medicine...

i think i'm feeling something... i feel a sensation.. could that be the faint traces of sympathy? oh no, wait.. it was just my bowels moving, time to take a JO.

I can think of at least one airline that would be more than happy to go back to flying United Express...

Amen, Brotha!

Peace.

Its not all about the money. XJT has a better contract and work rules than many majors out there. The money is lower however You have to be a 25 year 777/75/76 captain to get the same quality of life I have as a 10 year pilot at XJT. So I'm only making 85K. Not bad with 200 days off though.
