Pilots at Mesa Air Group Inc. have sued the Phoenix-based carrier to enforce a six-month old arbitration award dealing with pilots' scheduling.The Air Line Pilots Association, which represents about 1,800 Mesa employees, said in a suit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Phoenix that the airline continues to violate the pilots' collective bargaining agreement by altering awarded flight schedules, reassigning flight duties and rescheduling awarded flights.
The frequent scheduling changes result in job dissatisfaction and fatigue, ALPA said. Mesa is the parent of local inter-island carrier go!.
