If you really want to get the company's attention, don't picket.
Instead, host a mini "job fair". Rent a conference room or a hotel ballroom. Ask some of the other regionals that pay better and LCC's to come and interview Mesa pilots on site.
Could you imagine what would happen if Piedmont, PSA, Envoy, Allegiant, Spirit, and Endeavor all showed up and hired 200 Mesa pilots in a single day!
Have letters of resignation already typed up.

What, just to say you fly an EJET? You undercut everyone else in the industry in the process. Now y'all want to complain and picket? Give me a break.
So lemme get your argument straight: Mesa's contract sucks; therefore, Mesa pilots don't have a right to try to improve their contract.
Seriously?
You, sir, are clueless.

I don't understand why ANYONE has gone there in the last year or two. Anyone that did knew what they were signing up for, and had a choice of many other places with significantly higher pay and better work rules.
The people that got stuck at Mesa during the lost decade are another story. Jumping ship to the flavor of the month regional when you have seniority somewhere is a gamble, so I can't blame them for sticking around.
With that being said, anything mesa can do to improve QOL and pay pushes this industry in the direction it needs to go and helps us all in the end.

Mesa isn't going anywhere regardless of how much you guys bad mouth them or how many pilots leave a month. They haven proven to be the cockroach that survived a nuclear blast.
With that said, it would most likely benefit every regional guy to support Mesa pilots making a significant gain in pay, benefits and QOL for all pilots there and those to come in the future.
Good luck to all Mesa pilots!
