Quick semi-related question, is it 30 hours rest within any rolling 168 hour period, or 30 hours of rest prior to any 168 hour period?

Looking back 168 hours, you need to be able to see a 30 hour rest period somewhere in there.

I guess things haved changed. I did not know there was a grievance with this. When I was Hawaii based 2 years ago, Mesa was using the block or better for the entire bid. Not leg per leg. Hawaii under blocked legs were notorious. I would over block my awarded line guarantee at least 10 hours a bid. Only to have Mesa re-crew a few round trips to bring me back to my original awarded block. I think someone owes me some money. I grieved it.

Why don't you focus on either coming here to work or not coming here, and stop obsessing over the fine print?
It seems like you're trying to base a decision to come here on rumored flying and opinions of anonymous people on an internet thread. The actuality of picking regional airlines is that any potential flying (even the flying currently on the books and officially announced) and any domicile you want is always one management e-mail or labor action away from being gone--overnight.
You seem very obsessed with baseless rumors about additional 50-seat flying here--my question for you is why? Are you afraid of having to fly a 50-seater? Because that would be hilarious.

The settlement was in 2010, so I would agree with you that someone owes you some money if they didn't abide by the agreement.

So guys do you think that Mesa is going to increase the pilot payrates in the future ? I am asking that because of what I have read in the two previous pages. Some people also mentioned something for signing bonus.

Mesa, love them or hate them they are who they are and always will be. Just like Republic, Republic may get a new contract, but don't expect it to be anywhere close to the top. Republic is Republic and Mesa is Mesa.
If you went to Mesa for good pay scale...well....

If Mesa and the union came to a TA, it would probably be voted down for being inferior to what's been offered to PSA and Envoy but, like Pilottim79 said, Mesa is Mesa. If a pay raise presented, I'm voting for it.

I just left AQP and didn't hear anything about a signing bonus or new contract. One or the other will only happen when classes stop filling. No way both will happen. They are starting on a street captain syllabus.

MOTHER OF GOD!! Street Captain? Does Mesa have bypass pay? Do they even allow street Captains? If street Captains happen and the contract allows it then the exodus of bypassed FOs would be ENORMOUS!
