More flying at Mesa means I'll upgrade faster, and can move to a major sooner. I'll do what I have to to make that happen, sorry if you disagree

Sorry to bring it up again, but more word of JO pursuing "200 flying in Atlanta." It might be worth taking another glance at the 200 rates in the TA for any Yes voters.

I wouldn't be so sure!! Delta doesn't like JO...but the also don't like paying more for outsourced flying than they have to. If they reach a price that is acceptable to them, they would do business with Mesa again. Thats what so many fail to understand...there is no loyalty in this industry, except to the almighty dollar. Remember kids...the space shuttle was built by the lowest bidder.

This is all greed. It's " I want a nice life I deserve so, my family and me can have the American Dream." The dream is at the expense of the workers and tax payers. It's corporate welfare. When a company refuses the pay their an employee a "living wage" the employee can qualify for social programs such as section 42 (LIHTC), food stamps, or other aid, then there is a problem.

If the additional flying was contingent upon us voting in this concessionary contract, the company and union would both be saying that in emails/letters FedExed to our houses, parents, wives, etc..
You obviously haven't been in this industry for long--you have no idea how cunning regional managements are about this kind of thing.
