You guys fail to realize that the pilots willing to shortcut upgrade or work for the wages the Mesa pays are the reason your income has stalled at the unacceptable level it is currently at.

Nope.. no favors to Mesa employees. You should have walked off the job a long time ago.

I am all for an ALPA negotiated acceptable pay rate across the board based on aircraft. No matter what carrier you are under, if ALPA, management is put on notice of the fixed cost of the employee. That places management in the seat of providing the best benefits and reputation to draw in the best qualified pilot.
