There's nothing special about the Mesa CPP already....CommutAir, Expressjet, and Air Wisconsin already have it. However, if we get a certain percentage of the new hire spots, then it doesn't matter if other carriers get it also. 10% (or whatever percentage) is still 10%.
ALPA for ALPA doesn't really apply when these deals are made without Union involvement. It should apply since it was a union agenda, but I don't think it's part of the equation.
