Then there is the issue of karma, what comes around, goes around.

mulhalo.

J.O has been on the fortunate momentum end, time and time again, and he has always been walking away the victor. He rarely was in the right, or Just, position, but that stuff really doesn't seem to matter. It should, we all know that, but it just doesn't. Delta, like J.O. will screw anyone anytime for a quarter, its just this time, Mesa / Freedom, has the bad cards in their hand, and that's it. There is no way they are going to win this dirty deal. Delta, this time, has the opportunity to throw its weight around in the face of fairness, and what is right, or Just, and subsequently, this time, Delta, with all its pomp, and all its glory, will prevail, you can bet on it, and that's that.

Before you and the rest of the ladies continue gossiping let me inject some knowledge into this PTA meeting. A lot of MAG pilots liked the standup lines. Why you ask? Some people don’t live in base (we call these pilots commuters). Standup lines usually commence in the late evening and conclude in the early morning, making it very easy for the “commuter” to get to and from his domicile (his place of work) on the same day.

More specifically the Canada trips (that’s the country to our north) depart around 9 in the evening and return around 8 in the morning, crediting (that means how much you get paid) slightly over 7 hours. This means the pilot (the person flying) basically gets the entire two days off.

This is false. There are stand-ups out of PHX, but each crewmember gets their own hotel room.

I flew one last week. Over 3 years ago when I was a new hire, we each got our own rooms as well.

No, that wasn't the point of my post. My point was that there is a lot of false information floating around about Mesa. I try to curb that. Ricks info is dated and often false.

I'm going to have to throw the you-know-what flag on this one...I was there over three years ago, doing those LAS standups, and we did NOT get our own hotel rooms, or any hotel room at all.

I have no idea what the deal is nowdays, but I'm not sure I would take your word for it based the above quoted misstatement of fact.

I don't know what to tell you rick. I was hired at the end 2005, and I have always had my own hotel room.

Other than 30 minute naps during a turn, I have never slept on one of our airplanes.

Where's the crying rolly face?:eek:

Dude all you guys group Mesa pilots as wanting shortcuts. I live in PHX. Why would I commute to work for Air Wisconsin, Horizon, or Pinnacle. I maybe would have went to California for Skywest. Your generalization of Mesa pilots is far off.

I simply give facts, and correct people when they give false info about the airline I work for. I would hope you would do the same thing regarding your airline.

This thread is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Purple continues to post false information, and I am attempting to correct him.

I don't consider Mesa a shortcut, nor do I have regrets about my career.
