If that's how management STILL feels after cancelling flights due to LACK OF PILOTS they all need to be out of a job and have their brains examined.
NO!
3-A-5 in the full TA language states:
3-A-5 No First Officer will have his hourly pay rate reduced at the conclusion of the interim pay scale or during any extension to that scale. A First Officer will be paid the higher of the interim scale rate or the otherwise applicable scale rate.
Any FO currently on property or hired in within the first 2 years will NOT take a pay cut.
There are multiple properties that have First Officer rates that are structured this way, wholly owned properties included. Mesa truly believes that the "shortage" will be over in 2 years, we however call their bluff. If Mesa can't attract and/or retain pilots they won't have a choice but to keep the higher rates, if not increase them further.
