Wow, never heard of this before, you mean to tell me people were voting based on what is going to happen 2 to 4 years from now?? How about the fact that in 2010 or 12 other bottom feeding managements like TSA look at the mesa ta in 2008? HOw does that help. It's called being a bottom feeder and they will ALWAYS be a bottom feeder, even in 2010, and with the help the 2008 pilots have given JO, there will be NO stopping him. This time there weren't any threats of job losses or concessions and it was still voted IN! JO must be overwhelmed at the stupidity of his pilots. What makes you think JO will give you anything 2 years from now? Mesa has had absolutely no problem working with a bottom feeding contract while most other airlines have had block or better, duty rigs, better work rules. All while lying to everyone that they had a happy workforce and one of the highest paid CRJ pilots. What makes you think they won't continue the same even when EVERY other regional contract will be superior in 2010 and beyond?? This was the best and only chance for Mesa pilots to get something since they had no guns pointed to their heads and no actual jobs were on the line, only theoretical. We know you are not the problem Airfix, but mesa airline pilots have spoken.
