The undercutting Mesa pride of turbofan and paxhauler are so easy to see from the outside, but they don't see it from the inside looking out. This is easy to understand, because most workers want to be proud of where they work and what they represent. When I used to work for Mesa I thought the same thing, but after a few months I realized what a criminal, working class busting piece of crap company Mesa is.
It's too bad that everyone doesn't realize that. I guess its kind of like Stockholm syndrome. You feel bad for JO and think he is your savior. Reality check, JO doesn't give a @#$ about YV and F8 pilots. Whoever thinks that he does hasn't learned yet. He's a criminal.
It really is discouraging to see ALPA allow Mesa underbidding pilots illegally (all porn deleting lies aside) put other higher paid (ALOHA) pilots out of work and allow them to steal their livery. Sure, the union can't stop capitalism, but they sure as #@$ can educate Mesa pilots on how their corrupt management is ruining this profession. The $10 fares that Mesa pilot paychecks subsidized is what doomed Aloha.
If you don't believe me guys, just ask some ex-Aloha pilots who YOU put out of work.
