You all work for a steaming pile of turd airline run by a lowlife scumbag criminal.
Unless you have already upgraded, have some self respect and leave the suck.
Other places pay better, provide you with an iPad, and yes, you don't have to pay for KCM, or stay at another motel while smelling cheap lot lizard hookers and the grease from a nearby waffle house. Oh, and let's not forget having to wear dark sunglasses just to shield your eyes from all the orange stickers.
Your MEC is weak! Getting weaker by the day! Remember to thank your MEC chair for allowing the creation of Freedom A and the abysmal contract that followed....Just ask your senior Capts about that little story. It's a Doozy!
There is no hope for a decent contract because Mesa will soon start to shrink and eventually fizzle out if not bought. Help accelerate that process by having some self respect and get the quality of life you all deserve.
Get on out. Keep those apps updated because the ULCCs are even calling regional fos now. Get a free Airbus type while enjoying a much better QOL and pay.
Oh, and by the way, you can keep that Going Sterile weirdo. He has lifer written all over him. Kinda reminds me of that Dan Leo weirdo. They'd make a great pair....of liability.


This has been a public service announcement.

There wasn't one last quarter, I think the previous one was in March/April.

The last call was on May 5.

I don't know about that.

I believe the recent significant pay increases signify the contrary. That other regional management has caught on. You either pay your pilots, or you won't have any. Almost every other (or is it EVERY other) "regional" is in tune with the new hiring environment and, more importantly, pilot RETENTION environment. And they have reacted accordingly. Seems they realize you can't fly airplanes without pilots.

Last decade's rules have changed. It's time to either catch up to the competition or get out of the game. Maybe tomorrow they will tell us which it's going to be. In the meantime, every pilot I know is updating their logbook and getting apps out if they haven't already. The writing is on the wall. Tomorrow JO will tell us what he's going to do about it.

Or he won't, and the grand exodus will begin.

Guys, you gotta see things from JO's shoes. He is the reason we all have a paycheck and will continue to have paychecks. You're all being too hard on him.

Stockholm Syndrome much?

Bringing things back on track for Mesa. Thought this would be interesting to share. All of this is very easily found/semi-public info. But not in a nice setup.

Eligible Crewemembers for October. First # CA, Second FO.

DFW 181 / 153
IAD 90 / 73
IAH 201 / 163
PHX 98 / 67
Total 570 / 457

It's the chief pilot meet and greet that sealed the deal. Very hard to get. I've been trying in both Houston and Dulles for a couple of years. You get one of those, and you'll quickly get an interview.

Hi MagPBS ,
Who is getting lines in IAD regarding CA?
I mean what the most junior captain getting a line in OCT?
Thanks
