We get long winded explainations, but never an answer.
The question was:
Yes, we chose Mesa knowing the conditions, but what is ALPA doing to start getting Mesa to meet the trend that other regionals are offering?
I'm learning fairly quickly, that ALPA here does not care enough to effect change.
He was more than happy to blame the company, but the contract has been amendable sine 2010(?), I think.
I don't see any real information being disseminated out to us from the union or the company.

Just sharing an experience with everyone!
But what you and your peers fail to understand, is what is motivating company to pay more? When you and others like you show up to class, there is no reason to make a better offer. The current book is getting the job done. I'll say this one more time.

PAY WILL ONLY GET BETTER WHEN THEY CANT STAFF!

I'm not really sure why this is such a difficult concept to understand.
