PAY WILL ONLY GET BETTER WHEN THEY CANT STAFF!
I'm not really sure why this is such a difficult concept to understand.
RJET had a hard time hiring before their TA passed. Even after their offering of $40 an hour "industry leading" they still didn't fill classes.
Let me explain in a simple way.
If Mesa couldn't fill classes Mesa doesn't grow.
No more upgrades
Downgrades to follow
Mesa won't fulfill the contracts they have with mainline
Less flying=less pilots needed
The flying Mesa does for AA and United are the lowest paid contract.
In my opinion the only way we get paid more money is IF these contracts with AA and United can be adjusted. And good luck with that.
Unfortunately we will not see another TA for at least a year if not longer regardless of classes full or not.
