Nope, that's not an award silly. It's a base trade. The last bid was 19-04 and the most junior captain had a seniority of 12yrs and 6 months. Period. That's the facts.

There is a 4/14 seniority captain sitting at the bottom but they traded in.

Do another bid and bring the numbers down more. Until then it's all talk.

Wow, as someone who isn’t in the 121 world I would’ve expected every airline to have duty rigs at some capacity.

Mesa doesn’t either but our pairings are efficient so nobody has balked.

They pay our boss a fee for each departure. They do not set our pay rates or agree to our work rule demands. Mana Air does.

The CEO owns a majority of the company and has incentive to make as much profit as possible, because he 1) could sell his 51% stake for much more than what it was purchased for and 2) get a job as a major airline executive or stakeholder as he would have then turned around two regional companies from struggling to growing and profitable.

Okay, I’ll ask it in here. Where are the “daily updates” the MEC was talking about?

Humble yourself, youngster! Others had it much worse than you. Be thankful for what you have.

Yes! There was a time when fools actually lined up at the door for a then $13,000/year job. Be very grateful we are finally on par with administrative assistants, cooks and sheet metal workers as far as wages go. We really shouldn't fall out of line and make waves to a company that posted a billion dollars in profit last quarter. Silly greedy pilots.
