it’s up to Mesa pilots and their MEC to hold the company to a higher standard. I’d hate to be on the bad side of ALPA carriers and United when things turn around. Pilots have long memories.....Delta pilots still have major heartburn over ComAir pilots thumbing their nose at them after 9/11.
Wrong. Stop spreading this lie. I specifically ask this question in our last town hall and it was answered. There was an agreement in the past to offer an interview. He made it clear in the town hall that was no longer the case.
Mesa MEC pilots should come first on any hiring. ( pilots who were sent home during training) Then the MEC should arrange for any other ALPA carrier wishing to interview and make arrangements for that to happen.
