Tell Mesa ALPA to get rid of the training contract with their next contract. What a bad way to trap employees. Make working there so bad, and you can't afford to leave. JO is sick.

Most all of my friends that joined LAMA haven't paid a cent.

I am a LAMA and I recommend it more than anything to anyone with 8 days off a month. My schedule at my current company is stellar. Days off everywhere, higher pay with better work rules, and maybe 1 MEL a month. Oh yeah, and management cares about us, isn't moving to China and isn't getting sued in court again. Ahhhhh LAMA really is nice now that I think about it again.

It's a funny-looking South American herd animal (spelled llama). In mesa-context, it's Life After Mesa Airlines...they even have little lama stickers for your flight bag.

Anyone paid yet? They have taken my amount from $2800 down to $1500 in the last few months in an effort to get me to pay. Does anyone know if they have taken anyone to court yet? I just can't stomach giving those bastards $1500.

I have eard on here how Mesa breaches the contract as far as work rules, although I am not sure how (everyone just says "they don't honor the contract"). If THEY breach a contract and were doing it before you left, isn't the contract null and void. How can you break a contract that they have already broken? Follow the logic?

Two entirely separate contracts. The promissary note is not mentioned in the pilot contract. It is signed during the 1st week of indoc, before you ever see a union pilot contract.

Bad logic.
