Anyone who thinks she is normal/thinks she has good advice is insane themselves.

 

How's this process work for the uninitiated? How do we vote certain MEC Presidents out and get new people in? Presumably it's done online and everyone off probation is included. You don't have to physically be there or anything, right?

 

Opinions on LH are like a Rorschach test on the posters

 

The new MEC Chairman is voted on by the MEC. If you want someone in particular, and they want the position, tell your rep.

 

Sorry to interrupt ongoing conversations. I'm contemplating 3 regionals right now, with Mesa being one of them. I keep hearing much more negative stuff about Mesa though, which concerns me. I realize the pay is lower. But, other than that, is it really any different (worse) at Mesa? I heard similar trashing of Republic even though a few guys I know who went over there love it. For a few reasons other than pay (for example nearby bases and travel benefits on both AA and UA), Mesa has some nice plusses for me. I realize that the only way to truly find out what working at Mesa is like is to hear it directly from those who do work there. While I appreciate everyone's opinion, I'm mostly interested in hearing only from the Mesa guys/gals on this one. Feel free to PM me if you prefer to keep it private.

Also, I've heard that a new pilot contract is under negotiation. Is that correct? And, if so, what is in it and what are the proposed pay levels for a new FO? Thanks everyone.

 

I sent you a PM. To answer your question about negotiations, we turned down a TA in September that had a 1% pay raise for FOs. There have not been any negotiations since then, so there's no proposal currently on the table. If there was, the regular line pilot wouldn't know about it anyway until it's voted on and approved by the union leaders.

 

Make sure Andy H
And Darryl C
Are far away from the Ecexutive MEC or you are f---d
It will be like having Kevin W as a head of your Union, yes your VP will control everything


Be smart and email your reps

 

There are many positives to working at Mesa.

 

How many days do we have to move to a new base? a FA said like a week but I wanted to hear from other pilots

 

Don't know, I would never move for a regional
