Let's hope they have some success and that it comes sooner rather than later. Mesa needs it to happen to be able to recruit going forward.
In the email the negotiators are correct
"As a committee, in return for our effort, we ask you—each pilot and every pilot, for one thing: tell us first. If you have a complaint, question, concern, you heard a rumor, or just need to vent—please, tell us. It is critical that the committee gets this information if we are to be productive in our efforts, for all of us. The moment you find yourself complaining to your first officer, to your captain, to your friend on the jet bridge or crew room, or posting on a message board—you need to be saying the same exact thing to us directly and I urge you to do exactly that."
So, instead of venting on a forum, Facebook or in the crew room contact your negotiators. We are all guilty of this and I understand all of our frustrations of our previous inept union representation. As a unified pilot group let's make a difference this time around.
