Do you remember/know what happened? Instead of going on strike, Mesa signed a concessionary contract in 2003 and got most, or all, of the RJs that Piedmont and Allegheny worked to get scope relief for from USAir. Now you might not call that "stealing" but the Mesa pilot group knew what they would get by approving a concessionary contract when they could have held out for better or gone on strike.
