Mesa Airlines pilots request federal mediation
Mesa Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), have requested mediation services from the National Mediation Board (NMB) to facilitate negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement. The decision to file for mediation comes weeks after company management delivered a proposal that was rejected by pilots. According to ALPA, once the NMB processes the request, a federal mediator will take control of the bargaining schedule and oversee negotiations going forward. Mesa pilots have been in contract negotiations for more than 6 years with no pay increases since 2010, ALPA said. “Since negotiations began, the company has added more than 70 new aircraft to the fleet and offered bonuses to new hires while existing pilots continue to fall further behind in pay rates compared to their peers”. <br/>
