You know, the pilot group requires “grit”. That’s exactly the same garbage they told us at Mesa. I went to the roadshow, I told them what I thought, and their reaction was such that I knew they weren’t working for the pilot group.
“We looked at the numbers, they don’t have the extra money, this .02 cent raise is all they can afford”. I had to leave Mesa, was surrounded by gutless Stockholm Syndrome suffering pilots that spent the majority of their careers beaten down.
In a couple of years, will be interesting to see if our switch to ALPA will play out exactly the same way. At least I am with a pilot group that has grit, and will stand up against the bull crap.
