They always come back with the same sh*t which is laughable at best ....”oh 300%, oh quick upgrade”.....you guys are so Blind.....these things are not guaranteed in your WEAK contract.
This is an issue for us all because if Mesa guys accept their POS 73s for substandard rates and QOL they once again undermine everyone else and give ammunition to our companies that a group of F*cktard pilots will accept less than what they deserve if you dangle a rotten carrot in front of them.

But, knowing this companies history.. If they come up to me and said hey we have these 73's we need staffed. We will pay for your type rating but you'll get crap pay with crap hours, long nights, and the only benefit is you're flying a 73! Yeah, I'll pass on that one.

Because if you do you're an idiot. No one here wants low pay obviously we would like southern air or better pay on the 73's. So complaining to us like you know something that everyone else doesn't adds nothing to the conversation.

I’m hoping/expecting rates for that aircraft along the lines of Spirit/Frontier/JetBlue and not just Southern’s old rates, but that will be up to the negotiationing committee and the MEC.

All of us will shrug and say, "makes sense". Mesa pilots will pretend victory is theirs. And they'll be in the guppy cargo circus as a background player never making it big.
