Wow, this is like fighting over the fat chick

Your company did not buy them for us you Pinnacle retard Continental foot the tab on all of them. Move over with your rj because this turbo prop will run your mocho attitude over along with that fancy jet

You have no idea what you are talking about. CO did NOT buy the AC. Pinnacle airlines bought them.

dork fight

Last time I checked my company bought them too, seeing how we work under the same holding company! Get over it, an airplane is and airplane no matter how big and what make is go.

Follow the money toolbox. Pinnacle corp did not just sprout money out of their butts to buy your airline then turn around and buy you airplanes. All of the cash that Corp had to do these wonderful things at Colgan was pilfered from the profits earned by the employees of Pinnacle Airlines.

A grievance decision that may force the merger of our two seniority lists is still pending.

yeeaaahhh... riiight. Good luck with that. Colgan being non alpa and all... Prob. would be alpa if the 9e TOOLBOXES hadn't scared the 9L pilots away :\

Share holders won't get any returns from paying 9E guys more, so they won't. They will get returns from q400's flown cheap. Stop bitching at the colgan pilots. They didn't ask for it, and when you strike, honestly, most of them won't feel bad when 9E closes up, let alone have any desire to help out.

Boy this is sad! I guess first management usee RJ's to lower the pay of pilots. Now since the tables are turning towards better pay they are gonna use Large Props to bring the industry down.

Colgan folks...... Grow a pair!

If you break the numbers down, of the total pilots that could vote for the union, a very large percentage had been with the company for less than 6 months. They had yet to experience the "fun" that it can be sometimes. I am sure that the drive will do better if the company refuses to change, and age 65 slows down attrition enough to keep some people around.

Personaly, i think for a first drive, it went well. I know the 1900 drivers fought for it.

The problem is that people tend to not stay long enough to impact change... You don't find many old-timers at Colgan - it is a revolving door...

Scared you away? You mean warn you? If the legal system finds that Pinnacle Corp is in fact a successor to Pinnacle Inc (which is obvious to anyone who works at Pinnacle) our contract will force a merger. Whether anyone likes it or not.

IMO this is very likely to happen.

Share holders won't get any returns from paying 9E guys more, so they won't. They will get returns from q400's flown cheap.

Shareholders will require the largest return on their investment. Allowing PCL management to drive the airline into a strike and liquidation would cost the shareholders over $350 million. Considering that you can buy the entire pilot group for six years at that price thats a poor business decision.

Unlike your pilot group we don't just accept whatever they feel like paying us.

They didn't ask for it, and when you strike, honestly, most of them won't feel bad when 9E closes up, let alone have any desire to help out.

What will you do when they tell you to fly our struck work? Good luck in the rest of your career being a scab.

The problem at Colgan is that quite a few pilots who stay for the long term appear to be anti-union. I hate being lumped in with the no voters, but that is what has happened to nearly half of us. Striptyler does not speak for us all I assure you. I have no idea how a strike at 9E would affect 9L. Just know we can barely fly the crap we do.
