Not so fast!! Horizon in Pinnacle's sights?

[Ridgeback]

You heard it here first!

Hell, that's good, maybe introducing horizon and mesaba pilots into the pinnacle group can help the jellied spines of the pinnacle pilots stiffen up!

Jellied spines? Under what grounds!? You think the group has been negotiating for 5+ years, 2 rounds of "ice" from the NMB and a voted DOWN TA is spineless?


The horizon rumor has been floating around since the day PNCL mgmt bought the first round of Q 400's so it may be the first "rumblings" on FI but many have been hearing this for 3+ years. Nothing with substance beyond a common Q400 fleet.

Well, lets see, you have been been negotiating for five years, and you don't have a contract, but your on-time performance is sky high!!

Take a look at the numbers since AFTER the TA failed.... horrible.

Havoc. It's the only answer.

Uhh, we have this neat little tracker on our company website that shows the performance of all DCI carriers, Pinnacle is always near the top. You guys are spineless. Grow a pair and set the friggin parking brake, and fly really safe airplanes. It sucks, but it's inevitable. Oh, but I forgot, you all are going to rely on the mesaba merger to negotiate, and pray that their pilots have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for you.

It's unfortunate that you will only believe what you want to believe.

I don’t think the union agrees with any of this. Maybe they should.

That's known as a "work to rule campaign". Past precedent in the legal system is not favorable on the union advocating anything different that status quo. If you want to do it, more power to you. If a rep starts advocating anything beyond status quo he/she can end up in jail.

They'll be out of 700s soon. Will be a q400 company

Are you sure about that buddy pal?

It doesn't have to come from the union, take some initiative on your own and drag the dang anchor! Does the union have to hold your hand to pee?

If you are referring that to me, I am assured that you have no idea who you are talking to. I tend to be a bit "involved" with things. My words (even on this forum) could very well land me in jail, I take a risk as it is to talk on these forums and try to get some facts out there.
