Pinnacle, Mesaba, Colgan Reallignment

[Flyprdu]

Okay. I give up. You guys got way more hosed than we did because 10 of your pilots got downgraded to our 3. Let's talk in 5 years when the 200 ASA is up which airline got the worst of this deal. God help me I won't be working for Pinnacle.

10 pilots that needn't have to without your waste of a company.

Come on bri, you should know better. The disastrous result posted was only the result of one base closure of the Saab. Mesaba's shrinking is still an on-going process, and next on the chopping block are LGA, DTW, and MSP. As a Mesaba pilot, I'm sure you've already done the math on just how many Mesaba Captains and FOs on the Saabs that will get displaced. And take a damn wild guess where they are going, and take another wilde guess who will continue to downgrade and displace from that ensuing blow.

This is only the beginning of a long, painful chain reaction.

:laugh: Because Delta didn't want turboprops, we work for a waste of a company. Makes sense.

Makes sense when you're primarily a turboprop operator, doesn't it? We've hitched our wagon to the ugly girl at the ball .. and the worst thing is: we bought her dinner, and she doesn't even put out.

This was only for the first 23 Saab CA's. There are still 103 to go. FML

Yea, it's going to be ugly until it all shakes out.

Hmmm 60 jets, and 28 Saabs. I'm not sure about your definition of primarily. Anyway, I've never felt like I got anything better out of this deal, bent over maybe. Pinnacle isn't all that you claim it is.

Then quit, and graciously give your slot up to a Pinnacle pilot who would gladly keep his position.

And when ever you question if you didn't get a better deal.. imagine where you'd be right now if Pinnacle hadn't bought Mesaba.

Then punch yourself in the nuts for being a moron.

OK, OK, let me have a piece of this one.

Your welcome for our contract.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I crack myself up. Waste of a company? You D.Bag lets have a body count and see which company between Colgan, Pinnacle, and Mesaba stack up.

OH, you been there since 07'. You have got to know it all then.

You know what's funny? You XJ guys blow hard -- but none of you seem to deny the facts:

1. Mesaba is shrinking.
2. Pinnacle pilots are absorbing your aircraft losses in your place.

So cut the crap. And get on the Terminal PA and kiss my ass.

1. yes
2. and yes.
But i lost almost 4 years of seniority and you gained a contract. I would say that about evens us out.

You can keep your contract.

1. Pinnacle is shrinking now. Enjoy it!! We will be shrinking more in 5 years when the aircraft you guys brought to the party go bye-bye.

2. How do you figure only Pinnacle pilots are absorbing our losses?? I am going to have to commute to keep my captain spot, as are a lot of the guys I know here. The junior Mesaba captains will be downgrading too.

3. I will add one more. If we weren't bought by your "waste of a company", we may have gotten all 3 of your 200 performance losses, and had a shot at those 700's that went to blowjets (pure speculation of course).

Wow, your a real piece of work, and a perfect example of why Pinnacle has the reputation it has. I keep being optimistic that you are the minority here, but I'm begining to wonder. Ever wonder why Delta gave Mesaba to Pinnacle? Think safty record, and hull losses, performance issues etc. Now Pinnacle is ruining a good company. Anyway, I can't think of a single XJ pilot that wanted this, so quit blaming us. You just wanted our planes, how jacked up is that. Time to grow up a little

Is XJ over their quota on the -900? I see a few 9E -200 guys that got awarded ATL -900 CA and a couple 9E -900 CA's that got awarded MEM -900 CA.
