Mesa PBS LOA: 11/6 Deadline incl. Pilot Vote
Good Job Mesa Pilots!
This from the MAG MEC Hotline:
"If an acceptable LOA is not achieved by November 6, the MEC will support the removal of PBS. This would constitute a change in work rules and require a pilot vote."
Keep up the pressure on your elected representatives to act on your concerns and positive results may follow. Stay involved and don't settle for less. Continue to e-mail your representatives and don't forget that it is indeed possible to obtain a better QOL at Mesa with our collective input.

The senior guys (and the stupid people at this airline) sold the bottom 2/3 of the list down the river the first time when they voted yes on the contract. Urge them to make up for their mistake buy helping us vote PBS out.

Not saying your going to change everyone's mind, but you will definitely plant a seed.

I have been communicating with folks I fly with and those that I see in the crew room. Most aren't happy with it, but like I said to Sniper, I'm not sure if they are just saying that to appease me, or if they really mean it.
Are you ORD based?

this is good... doesn't it seem that with pbs the power lies within managements hands? The pilot group needs to be unified on this as i don't feel it'll will improve the status/fiscal position of the company but might help morale. Mesa seems like such a house divided ... with no one really willing to "man up"..as much as people need a face to blame and often look to the mec to vent i hope the active pilot group cares enough about the overall picture because as of now they only seem to be voting themselves out of jobs.
