Implementation Update

Many of you have been asking when the changes to the Republic agreement will take effect for Mesa Flight Attendants, assuming we ratify the tentative agreement this week. After several discussions with management, we can share the following information. We still have a few more issues to work out, but this chart represents the bulk of the items.

*DOR is Date of Ratification, 1/22/26

Item	Effective Date	Notes
125% pay over 87 hours	DOR	Programming may require this to be paid retroactively, but you will start earning this pay once ratified.
75% deadhead pay	DOR	Same as 125%
Minimum day at 4:12 (4.2 hours)	DOR
Pay errors, overpayments	DOR
Reserve days at 4:12 (4.2 hours)	DOR
Ready reserve pay	DOR
Drug testing pay	DOR	Will be paid flat rate of $10
4 hours holiday pay	DOR
Day room scheduling and pay if no room available	DOR
30 minute wait for transportation	DOR
Parking	DOR
Full deadhead pay on jumpseat in some situations	DOR
$25 if assigned airport reserve more than 10 times a month	DOR
IOE/Instructor pay	DOR
Jury and bereavement pay	DOR
Profit sharing	DOR	Mesa will become eligible for profit sharing in 2026, so the first potential payment will be after the first quarter of 2026.
Dry cleaning allowance	DOR
Company replacement of uniform piece damaged on duty	DOR
Boarding pay	7/22/2026	Requires computer programming at Mesa and Republic. This is consistent with implementation time at other carriers.

The next chart shows the items in the Mesa agreement that will stay the same until a Flight Attendant transitions to Republic. In other words, as long as you are still working for Mesa, you will stay under the Mesa agreement for these items.

Item	Notes
Pay process/pay days
Reassignment/rescheduling
Furlough and Recall
Leave of Absence	Jury and bereavement pay will align with the Republic contract, but the eligibility and process for qualification will remain the same as has been in place at Mesa until cross over to the Republic operation.
Insurance and other benefits
Wear current uniform
Attendance policy
Commuter policy including hotels, commuter credits, and payroll deduct
No stay/we pay

Finally, there are a few issues that we are still discussing whether they will start on DOR, require some time to program, or will not go into effect until the Flight Attendant transfers to Republic.

Trip rig (1 hour pay/credit for every 4.25 hours away from base)
Additional days off
Uniform allotment

We will update you when we finish resolving these issues.

Don’t forget to vote. We will not have a second chance to lock in these improvements prior to the next Section 6 negotiations.

The vote on our JCBA closes this Thursday, January 22nd at 12pm ET. Vote here today!
