Wait, WHAT?? Do you mean to tell me that I don't get paid for half an iPad now? Screw it, Mesa doesn't deserve me if I have to buy the whole thing myself!

I just hope it's not smoke and mirrors and that they actually follow through with any options that may be available to them, particularly under RLA Section 6.

Talk is cheap and especially from AH.

Notice how the email did not contradict managements claim that they haven't heard anything from ALPA? Please keep sending your dues.

Edit: AH will look out for AH. I bet the next TA will have another 'The top 1% may use a good chunk of the limited pie to transfer to the EJET and even more to move back to the CRJ if they don't like it' clause. What a joke.

I won't be here for the next TA but hopefully enough pilots will have the integrity to vote for what is beneficial for ALL. I am a senior line holding CA that voted no. I would have voted yes (because it was a pay increase for me) but unfortunately it did nothing for those under me, i.e. Reserves and FO's. Maybe it was the way I was raised, but if you're not looking out for those with less, you're doing something wrong. Please don't vote just for yourself or you'll end up with the same result as we are in now.

I would rather wear Oprah's pantyhose as a ski mask than work another day at Mesa.

Worst mistake I have ever made. And I have made some epic mistakes in my life including:

accidentally throwing a little person in the air (long story)

and making out with my cousin (longer story)

Do you have reasons? Or is your second APC post just a Mesa troll?

If you have a line at Mesa, you show up and work, then go home, talking to nobody at the company but your crew along the way. And operationally, Mesa seems to bump along in much the same way as every other regional. So, is it pay related then? Yeah, that sucks, but you can quit. Or are you one of those reserves who gets furious when they get called at weird times to do their job? That sucks too, however, it's also an attitude thing, and not necessarily Mesa related. It would be much the same at any other regional. The reality is that being on reserve at regional is a hard, kind of crappy job, especially if you commute. You should probably quit immediately if you feel that way. Life's too short. XOJet and EJM are hiring. Do that. You'll make $50k, stay in nice hotels and fly cool jets. I fly with way too many very reasonable, experienced people who tell me that Mesa isn't so bad (aside from pay) to believe posts like this.

Things that really blow here:

- hotels
- pay

Most of the rest is just the atrocity that is the regional airline industry.
