Waddle away with your tail between your legs? I was jumping, skipping, singing away. Well, actually I was running away. My last flight at Mesa, the cockpit was full of Mosquito's from Mexico.
I hear what you are saying, but I think you need to look outside your box, unless of course you plan on staying at Mesa until you retire. You need to think about how much money you are losing by staying. Granted, not every upward move will be a pay increase first year.

I'm not sure that it would lead to something better. But, I doubt they would allow a close personal friend of our CEO to serve as a union official. I would not expect any union to allow such a blatant conflict of interest. Since nothing else seems to be working, perhaps solving that problem (in addition to mediation) is our best first course of action?

Even chik-fil-a starts everyone at $40K/yr. You can go stuff chicken patties into buns and make almost double what a 1 year FO makes here. Just remember the special sauce when JO brings his Lambo past the drive-thru.

That's nonsense. Where do you find that drivel? But go ahead and apply. Call us back when you're making $9/hour like the rest of fast food workers.

I've got the special sauce for him for sure. For all YV pilots bring your badge I'll hook you up with some free chicken sandwiches, waffle fries and lemonade. Grass is greener on the fast-food side

Yeah, you're right. I had two friends tell me that in the past few months and I took it as gospel. Should have fact-checked. My bad.

Just as a reminder, there isn't much left of the MEC that voted yes for the 2015 TA. And then there is the issue of when the NC doesn't want to be guided by the MEC.....
