I truly hope that the Mesa pilots have scored a good TA. I hope that Mesa management's intentions are honorable but I sincerely doubt it. When a TA is brought up this quickly with no contest...it seems that something isn't right. I fear that a good CBA will only be a temporary situation at best. (You can never trust JO...even with his hands tied.)

With MAG's stock price hovering around the $0.50 level, I fully expect to see Mesa file bankruptcy after the Date of Signing. Then Mesa will do what all the other airlines have done. Slash the contract into little bitty pieces and destroy the little improvements that the pilots have gained. With DAL cancelling the CRJ900 flying out of JFK, I feel this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Mark my words....if you follow the money you'll always know how Mesa and JO will think. This is their plan......just watch. You'll see.....I guarantee it.
