MESA PILOTS SAY NO CONCESSIONS
76 HOURS OR NO FLYING
just look back at a time where the company held you to the Pilot Working Agreement (PWA).
Getting called on your last day of reserve when they have other people to cover?
Sitting ready reserve for days on end?
Booking deadheads to one way legs back to Base to save buying you a hotel room.
The company holds you accountable for following the PWA, and now it’s your time to hold them accountable. They agreed to pay you, then make them follow the agreement. They will hold you accountable if you don’t, so why allow them to not follow it?

Embraer is refusing to delay any further so JO will be getting the financing (dont know the details). But, I have spoken to a few of the CAs that will be going and they are being told to be ready. Everyday that passes I am more and more certain the furloughs are a farce. We have yet to even see any displacement bids. Also how can we keep the whole maintenance and FA groups if we loss 30% of the pilots. How about JO take a pay cut and take one for the team if things are so bad. A 30% pay cut for him would save at least 200 of those jobs.

When is the union going to speak up and get our proper notice for monthly bids. If they know what the flying is going to be like next month, then why are we waiting until the last minute to bid and know our schedules? That sounds like a concession all in its self. Have we got anything in return for that?
