I work for a "leading regional airline" in terms of payscales. While I wasn't there first hand to witness this event, a captain involved in our negotiations told me our management told them they wanted to move our payscale down to mirror Mesa's. Their reasoning? If Mesa can pay their pilots sh*t wages and they still come to work for them, why should we be paying our pilots a penny more? I am glad to see you guys working to improve things, and realize you voted no, but if you think your p.o.s. contract doesn't have a negative effect on the industry you are foolish.
