Bye Bye Q4.......

Mikey says if we get a union we won't get the Q400. Pinnacle MEC says if we don't get a union they will get the Q400.

That is a standard empty threat from Pinnacle management. Trenary threatened to liquidate the airline in '99 if we did not give them 50 seat rates cheaper than Mesaba's. We told him Mesaba could have the da*n CRJ's and we would find other jobs. We ended up with 139 CRJ's and payrates better than Mesaba's 70 seat rates.

In '06 Trenary and Casey told the entire airline ALPA had to sign a new Agreement with no raises or NW would take all our flying away. Gave the pilots three different deadlines to sign an a concessionary Agreement or face all our planes being given to some one else. They told the entire airline this and made a big deal of it. It had a number of gate agents/flight attendants in tears. We still don't have a new labor Agreement but Pinnacle and NW signed a service agreement that put over 200 million cash in Pinnacle's account.

Now Trenary is claiming if we don't give them a cheap deal by the end of March NW is going to take 17 CRJ's away. NW can have the da*n things. But my bet is Pinnacle still has them this time next year.

Trenary and Casey are using the Colgan's. I doubt they are being honest with them. Ignore all the threats and do what ever it is that you want to do, for your own reasons. It sounds like they are going to start hiring street CA's too. Casey has always loved that one. Why should the the company pay for two training cyles? (CA and FO to replace the vacated FO slot). If they hire a street CA they only pay for one training event instead of two. Never mind they end up with a bitter CA that never gets of reserve and bitter FO's that have been bybassed for CA. They saved money and that is all they care about.

You really think he makes you guys look bad? You don't think you do that all by yourself with most of the Colgan posts here?

No kidding. DEW DOW, I'm a retard.

Ok...you got me there.

[ReverseSensing]

I don't know any of you Colgan guys, but you feel like my special retard brothers with your puking kitties, yarf-narfing, dee-dowing, and slightly homo-erotic banter. Keep up the good work. It amuses me.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Dee Dow!

Maybe, just maybe, it's because we see what this board has become.

Not to hijack the thread....but I put my Pinnochle flier together today (like the one in your avatar). I'm not sure what is funnier, the fact that I was given a foam model airplane to help ease my fears about the recent purchase or the fact that I can't get it to glide AT ALL. Got any tips for getting that sucker airborne. The Beech glides better.

Tape a nickel where it says "tape nickel here". It will fly good and it's landings are better than yours.

Don't you see what is happening here? The evil minds at PCL are using those innocent gliders to fund the airline on the backs of the Colgan pilots. Here is how it works:

(step 1) give the Colgan pilots a quick end around and tell them that they are being bought out by a larger ALPA carrier (brace for inevitible whipsaw)

(step 2) Think up catchy slogans like "Foodstamps, they're not just for the homeless anymore", or perhaps the ever popular "Simply the BEST".

(step 3) Send a crappy trinket package with a cheap plastic cup, a shiny sticker to put over the duct tape on one's flight kit, and a foam glider to amuse the simpletons over at Colgan (hey don't shoot the messenger, we bought Manhatten island from the Indians using a similar tactic remember??).

(step 4) As part of the assembly of said glider, require the Colgan pilots to tape a 5 cent piece of U.S. currency to the structure of the glider to make it fly properly (as PCL/Colgan management surely knows, no aviator worth his salt is going to accept a flying machine that doesn't actually fly right??).

(step 5) When the Colgan pilots gleefully throw their new foam fliers into the air with their cargo of nickles, the foam fliers internal navigation system takes over and like a homing pidgeon flies to 1689 Nonconnah Blvd., Memphis, TN 38132. to deliver its payload of cold hard cash to PCL.

(step 6) PT and the gang delight in how a cheap foam glider has once again rescued the leaky ship that is PCL from disaster.

Who knew a little foam glider could be the beginning of the end for an entire profession? Soon mainline will send out bigger foam gliders to their pilots. These will of course require "golden dollars" or something similar to take flight. The air will be full of foam gliders sailing away into the distance with their money laden backs speeding to their evil airline management masters.

The nickel without the glider would land better than me.

You got a lot of pent up anger and time on your hands......and I have a glider that even with the nickel in the appropriate place....well it still doesn't work. :-(

Nah, no pent up anger here bro, just too much time on my hands. Good luck to all of the Colgan peeps, if circumstances were different I might have been a foam glider flyer myself......

 

[suupah]

I can't believe we have to pay to play with our gliders.

 

[Yodafly]

I got no glider

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

I didn't get a glider either this is total crap now I want a union again.
