Thankfully, a maintenence cancellation such as this ("controllable" cancellation) is paid...just not the "uncontrollable" types (i.e: weather, ATC). On the other hand, all of the flying this crew was supposed to do the rest of the day/trip would be dropped, and they wouldn't get paid squat for that. Hopefully, if that were the case, a Chief Pilot would step up to the plate and pay protect them for a job well done, and saving lives in the process. But, what am I saying...it's Mesa
I agree...kudos to the crew for making this a non-event, and not worthy of news consideration.
