voting it down will not be the end of the world for you guys....u shouldnt settle with the first chance u get anyway. The ball is finally in the courts of the pilot groups....management will soon be powerless without us...take a stand for whats right....none of us get paid what we are worth
As far as your 900s go? i saw 3 brand new CRJ-900's parked on the ramp with your new livery in CLT last week....the tail numbers ended in LR.....in case any of you new hires dont know what that means...it means the aircraft are registered to MESA
If you guys do end up getting 900s....you just better make sure u get different payscales to go along with it...and dont back down!!!!
Sorry to bust your bubble, but the TA will get approved, especially since 13.5 million will be distributed amongst the group (and captains will get 40% more than the FO's). People are greedy and want the money. I am mid list on the -200, and every captain I fly with is excited for their $. True, the -700 guys wont get much of a raise, but they are outnumbered by the -200 guys who will be getting a substantial raise.
And as far as Mesa getting -900's for Delta, well, Delta will regret this. Mesa is a piece of #hit (I used to work there) and they will cancel more flights than they fly (staffing) because nobody there cares about anything, and they dont know the first thing about running an airline.
