Perhaps you forgot that they had GJ mechanics doing pre-buys on CRJ-200s in the desert not too long ago. The only reason Hulas DIDN'T transfer all the flying to GJ is that getting the -200s up and running would have cost him too much. You think THAT isn't going to come up in negotiations? You bet your ass all our union guys are going to hear is "Well, if you want a pay raise, maybe it won't be so costly to get those -200s for gojet after all"

Nothing out there hobbles the TSA pilot group's negotiating power as much as the pseudo-scabs at GJ willing to do our jobs for less. Period.

Only BURFlyer could turn a Mesa thread into a thread about his beloved GJ. Disgusting. Keep walking with your badge turned around and your head hung down...pathetic.

Stock's up 9% this morning. Way to go.

LAMA guy here. This is a great idea and the only way to prove how, in fact, you voted. I did this when I voted "NO" on the previous contract. I then made my own bag tags. Front side with my name, phone #, etc. Back side was the "I am AGAINST the tentative agreement..." statement in RED. Laminated it and put it on my bags. Anyone who said they voted no, I asked them for proof. You couldn't provide it, I didn't believe you- simple. I suggest you do the same. It is AMAZING how only 2 or 3 guys/gals out of everyone that I talked to voted YES... you will probably find the same.

Good luck for the next 4 years (length of new contract + negotiating time for a new one)...I think you guys will need it. Wow, a NEW low :(

All I can say is.......wow.....

Have that reciept with you at all times. Just might need it to get in a jumpseat. embarrasing guys just embarrasing!

[quote=jeff122670;515693]I don't work for MESA (military guy) but I have followed this TA very closely...It's kept my attention of what the industry is turning into. For those 400 who voted no - It's a pleasure sharing the skies above FL180 with you. For those who voted yes - don't fly too close to those warning areas.[/quote

Can your sophisticated radar detect "noes" and "yeses" or should we duct tape "N" or "Y" on the fuselage?

The MAG pilot group has faced one of the most adversarial management establishments in the nation. In the past they have successfully ended an non-union in-house alter ego and fended off an attempted crossover into mainline flying. The new agreement contains key pay and work improvements for pilots. Who, since 2001, has won big pay raises or time-off increases?

Seriously though, Someone said they were not going to be delisted but someone else keeps saying they are on the 18th. Whats the deal?
