Unfortunately there is a grain of truth to what our boy saab says. I spent a few years being optomistic about mesa's next contract, then gradually came to the realization that a large percentage of the pilot group might not have the ballz to stand up for themselves when the time comes. I voted with my feet rather than wait and see.

DRASTIC events are going to be required to change anything at mesa: extended strike, loss of codeshare, furloughs. That will be the only way to purge mesa of JO and his merry band of @ss-clowns. Are you ready to do it?

Please prove me wrong in 2007 guys.
Part of the problem contract wise is that most people at Mesa don't plan on staying, and therefore don't worry too much about the contract. That describes me and many of my coworkers. Right or wrong, it's definitely a factor. Personally, I'd rather have the same contract and know I'll have a job until I've built up enough time to move on. That certainly doesn't mean I'm against a better contract.
