The pay is not bad for MESA and we all still fly the same aircrafts we flew yesterday for MORE money so it would be ridiculous to vote no on a good deal. MESA offered us a good contract that secures our future by letting the company not spend all monies on pay rates. They have to have room to operate and make cash too. The Wholly Owned are doomed. They can’t afford to pay like that for long or they will be out of business
I got news for ya, Mesa won’t be in business if it takes six more months for a new contract. In 4 months if there isn’t a fair contract you’ll be down to ~30 FOs each in DFW and PHX, Dozens haven’t put their notice in and have CJOs in hand or are very close.
maybe JO is expecting Captains to sit FO reserve. Lol. How many are going to continue on with their training dates if they can get hired at Envoy or similar and make triple pay? Only those that failed elsewhere or have no other options will continue. Good luck!
