And you think our pilots would vote to have ANY aircraft fly for LESS than Mesa? SkyWest’s TA is supposedly coming out by Monday. I can’t wait to compare their new TA rates on the CRJ to ours. It is only going to raise the bar.
I think you underestimate our pilot group. I also think management lost all credibility with their fallacy that we can’t afford to fly the RJs in house.
why would we even consider Mesa rates? Did you see JO begging congress to drop the 1500 hour rule because his airline is losing 30% of its pilots every 6 months? Those rates are fingers in the dike, and the flood is still coming.
I’m sure they’re hoping for relief next year after the midterms. But bankruptcy will work just fine if they don’t get it. 😉
