change in the air at mesa

[CitationLover]

after 2+ years, finally the MEC chair and vice chair was thrown out at mesa today. those planning on being appointed to the negotiating committee have as a stated goal of:

100% line guarantee
block or better
12 hr max duty day (extend by pilot to 14hrs)

things are changing at mesa as they look to get ready for their contract negotiations in 2007.

Glad to see AH and RH are gone...as well as their priceless "live to fight another day" motto.

Best of luck Mesa pilots. I doubt there are any claerly thinking pilots that don't lend you 100% support. Your sucess is our sucess. Get what you deserve!

Goals and wish lists are great...but following through is a whole 'nother animal. Best of luck to him and the rest of the Mesa pilots in your upcoming contract talks in 2007/2008.
