Mesa pilots ratify new contract

Mesa Air Group pilots, who are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), ratified a new agreement that contains numerous industry-standard and industry-leading provisions. This new collective bargaining agreement will provide Mesa pilots with immediate scheduling improvements, including a true definition of scheduled or actual flying time and the implementation of a Preferential Bidding System (PBS) that will allow the pilots to have more control over their schedules. Additionally, the pilots can expect to be back at the bargaining table in 21 months to work toward more improvements with what they hope will be a healthier company in a more stable industry.
