After my 2 years there some 12 years ago I totally agree with the management comment. However, just because management is scummy doesn't mean the pilots can't make the place a bit more tolerable. That's why it's important to support the guys and gals there that are trying to finally get that place up to speed in the regional world.

Mesa isn't going anywhere regardless of how much you guys bad mouth them or how many pilots leave a month. They haven proven to be the cockroach that survived a nuclear blast.
With that said, it would most likely benefit every regional guy to support Mesa pilots making a significant gain in pay, benefits and QOL for all pilots there and those to come in the future.
Good luck to all Mesa pilots!

Picketing has no effect on Jo and all the mai line partners will take the tiny guys picketing, because they love the dirt cheap company.
I wish it would, but let's be realistic. Hell how long has it been and they're just now picketing. Mec probably went to Jo and said hey the group is getting upset, Jo replied OK, let's pick a week where nobody is flying(this week) and let them do a picket at the airport.

I don't know all the in's and out's of the Mesa CBA and how much it lags other regionals. I do know there are some low life's their just as their are some really great guys that make up the pilot group. It's easy for you to sit and judge an entire pilot group for working there. You have no idea what their circumstances are. Maybe they couldn't get hired at your super special regional. Maybe they didn't want to commute from a junior Mesa base to your super special regional base. Maybe they were long term FO's from Expressjet or Republic that needed an out to finally get PIC time and a bit more pay compared to their dead end FO seat. Whatever their reasons are it's their life that they will live with.
As far as your BS comment of Mesa hurting the regionals... get real man. Majority of regional guys seem to be making tons of cash compared to the last 10 years right? You have how many regionals with straight up flows to AA and career path programs to United as well that werent options several years ago. Looks to me like everyone else seems to be doing just fine regardless of what Mesa pilots are bringing home.
