The senority list has been hovering around 1200 for the last few months.

Interesting. There was a guy also using the handle of 'LT Dan' in a December 2015 new hire class.

So you picked the lowest paid company and you think you're going to make a difference? Oh dear.

So you've been here 2 weeks and you've already decided your not getting enough information handed to you? Let's start with you still have t even processed through national to get on the email chains.

And with your wonderful 2 weeks of experience you've already decided that you know everything about what alpa is and isn't doing to make your life better.

Must be super awesome to be that smart and so well versed in airline operations and the railway labor act after 2 weeks here.

So why not run for the mec chair? You seem to know the answers, how exactly is the union suppose to magically make all your dreams come true and make jo roll over and admit his last 30+ years of business strategy is bad?

Probies can't run for MEC chair I don't think.

Exactly. Even if he could more than likely wouldn't. Just like everyone else on here complaining about change but unwilling to step up. You don't want AH In there again, who's your candidate because if you ask the reps to date there's only one person running that they know about.

Just stop. Your blue-sky kumbaya attitude is simply out of blind ignorance. JO has said to many pilots' faces that the reason why he pays so low is because that is what the market dictates. Supply vs. demand. As long as wide eyed new hires fill classes, there is no economic reason to raise pay.

You presumably haven't even finished training, but you already think you're of good authority to decide who "gets it"? You should slow down on spouting your garbage before you know a thing or two about what you're talking about.

To those that spout about how "quick upgrades are alive": how many people actually upgraded in less than a year? 10? 30? I don't study standing bid awards, but it's not enough to sell that to a friend to come here. As others have said, if you were hired in 2013-14 and were able to make short work of the embaressing FO pay scale, great. However, if you come here because it's the only place you could get hired and don't care about the pay... You're a part of the problem, and you're lying to yourself.

The company has been completely unwilling to provide us with improvements in pay, hotels, healthcare, NONREV BENEFITS, interviews/flows or anything else for that matter. Anyone that signs up for a class date today is either 1. A mid-life crisis type 2. Can't get hired elsewhere or 3. Has either done no research, or doesn't value them self as a professional pilot

If they want to live on a base that Mesa is stationed or already have their 1000 121 time, it's a better place to be than quite a few regionals. If they just wanted a new type, some experience, and not have to jump through a lot of hoops, and bail after 3 months to their corporate gig, its a good place to be.
All the pilots on property are responsible for Mesa's compensation. We all choose to continue to work here. Pointing your finger at each other for it is stupid. The senior pilots are no better than the new hires in this regard. The only pilots who are doing something about it are the ones leaving.

This!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*
