Just happened to look at that, and I thought "they've gotta be working on something..." Any news?
Our concessionary agreement is amendable in 2012. Mesaba has always been on the low side paywise for jet FO's. We have a blended FO pay rate. Consequently, the Saab FO's are a bit above average, while the jet FO's are below. We do have snapback provisions in the current TA, but it only puts us back to where we were we would have been in 2008 under the old contract. The snapbacks start Dec 1, 2008 and add 1-2% per year until 2010 when we will be fully wage "recovered."
