I'd accept that if Mesa pilots were the only ones complaining, but everybody is moaning. From the bottom feeder airlines to the "legacy" carriers. I think pilots are too passive. We want more money, we need to go get it. I think there have been enough talks with management at all the airlines. It's time for some action.

Pilots don't have to strike either. We're the ones that fly the planes. If we want, we can make a given flight cost more. Why not say to management, "you've been turning profit and keeping it for yourselves. If we don't get a piece of the pie, next month's fuel bill will be up by 5%"


Don't you think they'd have to sit up and pay attention. I don't fly professionally yet, so I'd like to hear what the pros think about it.
