The Mesa pilots are still suffering the consequences of the original freedom issue, since they gave up almost everything on the last contract to kill Freedom A. Hopefully that can be corrected next year.
FINALLY someone with their head on straight about the Freedom A vs. Freedom B pilots. It just chaps my a$$ when the ignorance persists against the current Freedom B UNIONIZED pilots, all of whom weren't even around during the Freedom A fiasco.
