AA warns Mesa to boost its performance, but doesn’t expect to pay anymore for a better product.

The Big 3 expect all regionals to be on par with mainline in performance, reliability and product. “The Big Three increasingly want passengers to see regional partners as an extension of their brands, both for reliability and onboard product.”

They expect regional pilots to be motivated and happy to be ‘extensions’ of their brand, with a salary of 1/3 of their mainline partners and treated like second class citizens for doing the same job.

This is a long-standing dynamic between DP and JO. Went through the same thing back in the Cactus days.

YV tries to get away with murder, DP reels them in occasionally. YV is probably too valuable as a (low) bar-setter and bogey-man for the other regionals to actually fire them. Cockroach analogy.

DP, JO, YV?

Anyone else get lost with all these damn acronyms? Is there a list out there that explains them?

DP= Doug Parker, CEO of AAG, JO= John Ornstein, CEO of Mesa. YV= The IATA "code" for Mesa.

It's what the cook kids are doing these days. But seriously google DP and JO, and then see what turns up

Maybe not from a work machine though...or in a public space.

Dp is a jo.

The Big 3 are insane for thinking we should be happy to operate their flights for 1/3 the pay.

Oh you will and you will like it. Also ask for more and say please.

If you don’t like it, why don’t you work for main line instead?
