If we ever get a contract that has a higher number of days off, we will need the man power to cover more pilot lines in each domecile.

Don't think thats gonna happen, w/ these ugly times... Mesa has done well to show everyone that pilots can work all but 8 days a month and lowering the bar for everyone else... asking for more in the near future...GOODLUCK... appreciate guys.

Nice attitude. I have 14 days off this month. Only reserves get 8 days off/month and there's about 10 people company wide on reserve right now(excluding the Freedom guys).

I know my dash buddies get 12-17 every month. We also do 28 day bids, not monthly schedules.

ah another basks in the glory of the life at Mesa. Enjoy! :D

That's a pretty high horse you're on there for an RJ FO.:rolleyes:

So let's look into those 'JO special' 28 day bids. From the outside looking in, its clear to see the flaws. LAMA has its perks.

Mesa reserve guys have 104 days off a year (8/month x 13 bid periods)
XJT reserve (or any other respectable airline) guys have 144 days off a year (12 /month x 12 bid periods).

That's right folks, more than AN EXTRA MONTH off each year to be with your family or to just relax. Mesa pilots tend to work an extra month each year just to make less money.

Your 13 bid periods is a smoke and mirror special that makes you think you are getting 'an extra paycheck' when in reality you are just being worked more.

The math is pretty interesting. I'd also like to see the math that figured out that Mesa only has 10 pilots on reserve system wide, paxhauler.

The bar has been lowered and with people continuing to apply to work at Mesa works against market and union forces to lift the bar back up. And JO is just standing right on that bar, weighing it down with his labor lined pockets.

Some people just don't see it. I guess Mesa love really is blind...

Actually they are running an ERJ ground school as we speak. Im in the July 28th ground school and two weeks ago we got an email asking for 8 people to volunteer for a July 14th ERJ class. The CEO update said that by OCT 25 ERJ's should be up and flying......

HAHA! The sooner that you learn to not drink JO's koolaid the better off you will be. Your CEO is a lying criminal that exploits labor.

i think ill go ahead and say it... Its definately higher than Mesa's. :p

Anybody that goes to MESA is screwing the regionals. Their last POS contract is one of the reasons why the bar has been lowered in this sector of the industry. Don't go to MESA.
