You have brass admitting Mesa isn't that bad. I commute from STL to FAT and would rather do that for SkyWest than go back to TSA. With all due respect to the people who work there, places like Mesa should burn to the ground for the way people are treated. The vast majority of people I have met from TSA and Mesa have been great people. However, if you think that your union is going to change things with this next contract, I BELIEVE you will be sadly mistaken when it comes down to the wire. The next cup of Kool-Aid is on me!
I had heard that TSA is holding CASS over the pilots heads asking them for concessions if they want to be a CASS participant. Is there any truth to that? I expect that Mesa will be doing similar things as well.
