Well I hope you know that I used to be a member of Teamsters. And by no means were they in bed with the company. Can't say the same about ALPA. Mesa is the last regional to fulfill a new contract. JO has said it openly that he doesn't want to give raises, he wants to expand and grow. He feels that is more important than raises. I disagree. We need to pay a wage that gets our FOs and FAs off the couches and into hotels when they can't get home. They are 100% negotiating in bad faith. Before the last TA, the union believed they could get under 10 mill from the contract. Before they announced the new airplanes, they miraculously came up with an additional 4 mill. Was ALPA that far off? Maybe Mesa isn't providing them the correct numbers? They aren't public, do they have to? This isn't rocket science. They are most definitely holding out on us. As an employee at Mesa, I say shut the doors if you can't afford to pay the average.
