I bet airways is enjoying paying off those oversells!

Everytime a Mesa 900 CA calls in sick or takes vacation, they're paid at the -200 rate--Airways has saved millions of dollars over the last decade because Mesa keeps those 200s on their certificate.

I don't think Airways minds playing along with Mesa's little contractual scam and buying off a few pax here and there--it keeps their costs down significantly, and as we've seen with Eagle they're willing to play whatever games necessary to keep costs as low as possible.

Annnnnd so that when you upgrade onto a 700/900 (or, perversely, an E175) when you call in sick or take vacay you'll be paid -200 payrates.

That tiny little differences course costs very little compared to the massive savings on CA sick and vacation pay!!!

Can't blame Mesa for doing this.

Sick calls are paid by the equipment you were scheduled to fly.

The pilots that voted yes on this contract!
That is who to blame everything on....that's is in the contact.
The company is to blame for not following things that are in the contract. Pretty simple.

Right because they would rather pay off 79 passengers for a cancellation than to pay off 29 passengers who couldn't be accommodated on a 50-seat spare... :rolleyes:
