I’m pretty happy with how the company/union relationship worked out in this situation.

I am NOT happy with how the company/union relationship worked out in this situation. We should not be making concessions to the company and getting almost nothing in return.

The people who have been stuck here are cause they either like it or circumstance didn’t align for them to move on. Just like with any job in the world, you start at the bottom of the pyramid getting paid the worst, with no vacation, and other things that make QOL suck, and as you move up in the world, life gets easier, benefits get better and pay goes up. Quit complaining, you’re what I call a dead roach in the system who can only complain.
Right!
You must be a joy to fly with!!!
Why don't you tell that to the 500+ pilots that have been @ Mesa for over 4 years.
1.5 - 2 years until upgrade, then 1.5 - 2 years for the magic 1000 hrs of PIC time. After that, never look back, because you will be @ a Major airline?
Make that 700+ pilots that have been here more than 3 years with that magic 1000 hours PIC time.
Why don't you tell your "stepping stone theory" and "nobody stays @ Mesa" to your next, probably senior check airman right before your next AQP, or upgrade class. Let's see how far that personal greeting will go.
You'll be treated with all the respect you're giving me, I'll guarantee you that.
Mesa is a stepping stone, therefore, we accept $hitt¥ conditions?
Let me guess: You probably belong to the majority who voted YES on the last pilot contract?

IOE students were sent home as well on an initial 30 day window. What would you have done differently given you had the choice? Those who got the type rating and didn’t have IOE complete are in a pretty interesting spot. They have the type rating & ATP paid for by the company, without the obligation of a bonus. Paid to train for 2-3 months without obligation, not bad. Could wait a few months until hiring picks up and go to another regional carrier with additional bonus money at no fault to their own, assuming bonuses stay intact.
