Spot on!!!!!! Everyone should be mass emailing the company to return to the paper Jepps and when the company says it is no longer available then call crew quals and inform them you are not able to fly because you needed your money back and sold your ipad and now need jepps. Remember the Ipad is your Ipad and the company did not purchase it for you. They also did not require it. They gave you the option of Jepps or use your own Ipad. Don't let that become a new standard. Even if you don't want to lose pay, do it then after they deny you jepps at least file a grievance and use the email saying jepps are not avail and have the union file a GROUP GRIEVANCE IMMEDIATLY! DON'T LET IT BECOME STATUS QUO! Let the company scream like a little girl! Serves them right for not buying the pilots ipads...other then the recent new hires.

Well... It's the pilots fault for letting them get away with it. Most pilots including myself never read the contract beyond pay.

Before you had the option. Now you do not. Does not mean they should let it continue this way! Stop it now! This is the best leverage they have now that they can't get paper Jepps! Now Mesa has to buy Ipads or give them money to do so!

Mesa pilots could shut down Mesa overnight with this! LOL! It is legal and yet not a strike!

Here's the data I have recorded for each day in April .. after watching this informally, I started to write it down on the first of this month. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, though .. some may be maintenance cancels, and I simply look at Flightaware several times during the day and keep the highest number of flights. I don't necessarily have any better insight as to what our 'normal cancel rate' may be.

The union needs to do more to introduce the new hires to ALPA and help them understand how the group works. When I started, they just showed up in class, had us sign up and took us out to dinner. From there it was all word of mouth. There should be a 'union day' where pilots reaching the end of their probationary period get some type of class or presentation on ALPA. Have someone from national come in to speak and include lunch.

Just go into FTWeb for any base, Checkmark next to "Actuals" in the the menu selector, and you can see all cancelled (blue), delayed (yellow) and completed inbound & outbound flights from that base--way faster and easier than flightaware!

I haven't been gone that long, but what are CRJ 700's doing in PHX and DFW?

Where is ftweb? I checked ftweb.com and ftweb.net, and neither seems to be what you're talking about.

You work at Mesa, you should know that.
