It is. Of course, this should affect most stateside pilots unless we looking to acquire equipment in the bid.

When will they improve stateside flying (even if they had the money)? It is only when American threatens us that management changed behavior.

The Mesa offer was rejected:


https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/...hoo&yptr=yahoo


Interesting comments:


Flybe called Mesa Air’s proposal “preliminary and highly conditional”...Even though Mesa Air's offer was reportedly a lot more than Connect's, Flybe said the conditions of the deal weren't the most favorable to the company.


Mesa needs to focus on cleaning up its act here before trying to operate another airline 5,000 miles away.

I would hope that was Flybe’s board of directors exact thoughts after investigating Mesa’s proweness at operating an airline.

Mesa didn’t say they couldn’t afford to pay us more. Our ALPA union reps said this was the best deal they could negotiate. It was a time when if the Mesa pilots would have turned it down, JO would have had to pony up more money or go out of business.

In fact, JO upped the offer for FO’s over what the union asked for. Our reps asked for $32 per hour and JO insisted on $36.
