Tell Mesa ALPA to get rid of the training contract with their next contract. What a bad way to trap employees. Make working there so bad, and you can't afford to leave. JO is sick.

Most all of my friends that joined LAMA haven't paid a cent.

I am a LAMA and I recommend it more than anything to anyone with 8 days off a month. My schedule at my current company is stellar. Days off everywhere, higher pay with better work rules, and maybe 1 MEL a month. Oh yeah, and management cares about us, isn't moving to China and isn't getting sued in court again. Ahhhhh LAMA really is nice now that I think about it again.
