Just go to a union event. Ask real, non-loaded, reasonable questions. If you're looking for insight from the tinfoil hats who post on this page you're doing it wrong. Think of all the crazies and young, dumb FOs (and captains) this company employs who probably post here. Not saying the union is The Answer, but opinions here are so far off it's scary.
Not correct with rah. Republics main reason for going bankrupt was to get rid of idled aircraft cost. There were almost 100 erj 145s sitting that republic was paying on. Although they did renegotiate contracts with the big 3 and suppliers as well. Originally Posted by whyvee

They don't have to make money, so you can't compare them to Mesa. Republic forced American and United to increase their FFD rates by declaring bankruptcy, which Mesa can't do. SkyWest is a large public company with huge economies of scale that Mesa can't match.If your goal is to put Mesa out of business, cool. That's not my thing but to each his own.

I guess what I don't see with this contract is how it will save mesa. A garbage contract in this pilot market won't help recruiting or retention much at all. Sometimes you have to save management from themselves. Voting down our 2014 ta ended up turning rah around for the better. Voting this down and hopefully getting a better offer is the only chance mesa has.
