If you overblock by 6 hours and had more than 6 hours of cancellations, you would lose all your over-block pay.

Never said Mesa in particular. Just about everything the Skywest pilots have in their "handbook" with management was given to them after it was negotiated by a union carrier. In fact, Skywest management decided to pay their pilots the same for both CR2 and CR7 aircraft. So not only did Skywest mostly get what was negotiated by others, but they also got a crap blend rate for 50-99 seat jets that adversely affected those trying to negotiate improvements.

Believe it or not at UAL if we cancel we lose our overs. Kind of crappy, but at the same time I very rarely get overs since the block times are so inflated.

Yes, that's true, but you will never get paid less than line guarantee. Mesa pilots like to call it cancellation pay when compared to RAH which loses line pay on cancelled flights. We still get our pay for actual hours flown, that doesn't change. It seems that the "true cancellation pay" entails getting paid for flights that you didn't do even though your still getting paid above your line guarantee due to overblocks... How are you entitled to that?

Skywest pay scales are still above 95% of the industry, but we are the ones dragging down negotiations...
