In the current state of the industry, there is absolutely no reason for us to accept anything less than the best. The value of a pilot has never been higher and you are doing yourself and every other pilot a disservice by working for less than you're worth. Every other regional (less Mesa) are seeing increases in compensation, don't let the company fool you.
I am not saying this new negotiation will be unacceptable, but by the sound of the email, it will surprise me if it is. I wait patiently to hear the details.

Looks like the west coast and even DEN is ready for more pilots.

Oh wait that's right, they have ALPA. Yet Mesa still pays less than Great Lakes, for pilots to fly a bigger airframe with more seats.

Even with the type bonus and the boost to $36.50/hr, I didn't come close to $61k. More like half that.

I agree pay needs to go up, but with Mesa I would not believe it's worth that money. They have their Captain's sign a training contract. So first a new hire signs one training contract, then in upgrade they sign another to prevent them from leaving.

You don't consider working 90+ day after day with no reserves to drop as working overtime?
For straight pay no less....

Working overtime means doing extra. If you can't drop awarded flying you are not flying over time. On the other hand if you're flying your awarded line and picking up trips at straight pay then you are doing overtime.
Now what you really mean is wouldn't it be nice to be able to drop. Yes. But sometimes you just have to get workitis if you can't drop.
