Mesa pilots will never have my respect; You can pat yourselves on the back and trumpet how great this is but this is simply too little too late.
This TA, while it does offer improvements to the current Mesa contract, offers minor improvements on contracts that have not only been in place for almost 8 years but have since become concessionary.
You want my respect, then get a contract that has the following, amongst other things:
Block or better, on a leg by leg basis.
Trip and duty rigs.
Industry average pay rates + an increasing % each year.
Hotel rooms on sits in excess of 4.5 hours.
Full CX and DH pay.
150% open time pay.
Your contract has been the yard stick with which the rest of the regional industry has been beaten around the balls with, for the last few years.
You may choose to claim that you are not responsible for the way your company is run BUT we all have a choice. If you've chosen to work for Mesa, then you are either totally blind to the choices or you've accepted the conditions. Which in my book, is no different to holding your hands up and saying it's ok!
