Not that you we’re asking me but I’m going to put my two cents in....for me it’s QOL...sitting ready 4 days in a row, not flying making peanuts. Away from the family not flying, not working towards anything. This is just my situation/mindset anyway....just doesn’t add up. I can fly corporate and QOL goes way up. It has just taken a toll....I’ll fall on the “grenade” to save a job for someone else.

THIS^^^. It's not so much just about the lost $300/month, but it is the final nail in the coffin when combined with everything else. Luckily I came here with some previous turbine experience and was trying to add the missing pieces with 121 time I can probably move on easier than most in my position. The entire scenario of endless ready, no flying, and now with a paycut doesn't make sense.

IE, for the last year you have made $800 a week. Max weekly benefit is $450, in order to qualify you would have to make $449 or less to get up to $450 per week. So if you all of a sudden got cut down to $448 you would make $2 in unemployment so that your total weekly income equals the max weekly benefit. Normal benefit amount depending on state is roughly 40-60% of weekly earnings so you would have be below that amount, and 8 hours won’t get you there.

And for everyone on here that wants to bash the senior/ mid level CA/FO Who voted yes....it was a good deal for them. They avoid furlough and or possible downgrade. If I was in their position I probably would have voted the same way. This is just the way the cookie crumbles and for those of us low on the seniority list...we should have gotten in earlier. We will all look back on this 10 years from now and laugh.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Hard decision all the way around. I’ve been talking with captains on recent flights and they’ve always had good insight on the MOU regardless of direction. The Mesa pilots have always been great and I will stand by that.
