Nope DLA77 is right about the 30 hr. layovers. However I've heard it interpreted in two different ways. I think it was just part of the pairing not considered a day off. I did run into a guy who had gotten screwed tho' a reserve i believe?

The layover however was a common occurrence on the NOV. bid with at least 1 appearing on every bid. Great places like cle, mem, Sbn etc.... It was just complete inefficient crap. Mesa is not what it was...6-7 yrs ago but it's still the same mgmt. Team, same people in the "crystal palace," same crap being passed down for the union and the pilots to sort out. Maintenance team at mesa is suffering, plus pay and contract protections are still completely inadequate.

Btw the "travelalliance" company doing the hotels.... Holy sh*t do they s*ck!

J/O still knows and still does what he does. No changes.

No sugar coating from me.
