The "TA"
So the Mesa TA passed, the vote comes from a lot of things, if I recall anyone there less than a year can't vote, that would account for the 200 something. If they could vote they were fools for not regardless of how they voted.
Can anyone comment on what the TA actually covers. QOL issues, pay, soft money, block or better? I'd be interested in knowing what they supported. It was the same before I left. The top third wanted to keep on keeping on, the middle third was interested in either making it better or burning it down and the bottom third couldn't vote. A lot of the guys in the middle moved out in the last boom. PS Mr. Moderator, I didn't start this to throw stones, I am looking to see what the contract covers. |

EX/ Inability to decline a standing bid award. |

You're DEAD WRONG about PBS.
It can be good or bad depending on who has control. TWA actually had a well liked system (from what I've been told) and that was one of the few. In the hands of Mesa (with the work rules you have........er, actually DON'T have) with their bankrupt integrity, it'll be a nightmare. My question is; What's this "check-in" deal all about ? This sounds REALLY scary. |

What about having to self notify yourself IE doing the Crew Stalkers jobs when you check in 2 to 24 hours

Have you ever used PBS or even know what it is? If you did, you would know it is not a bad thing. PBS can greatly improve your QOL. Everyone I know in this industry who uses PBS loves it. In fact, I might go as far to say this is the top improvement in this TA.

It's no big deal. You call or go online and check in as you would a passenger just so they know you know about your trip and you are going to show up for it. If you don't, they re-crew it. Sounds good for reserves....

"Still Grounded", Here is a previous post I made regarding the new Mesa contract. The second half is a review of the highlights. I hope it answers your questions. http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/re...ne-pilots.html Good Luck, Winglet |
