Pinnacle is not Comair V2

The sadest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. 9e will die a slow death

They will pop a bottle of Champgne, laugh, and take their bonus checks and families to the Aspen Four Seasons when you cave. Meanwhile you're stuck at the Comfort Inn requesting a microwave for your din din

I'm pretty sure you're going to be stuck requesting a microwave for din din regardless of how the 'greedy' CEO thing goes.

You are right management will do what they want to do. They have told exactly what the will do either way. So how do you propose to stop it? Vote no, they close the place down, move the flying to airline X run them through the bankruptcy car wash and close them down. What is your plan to stop the slide? What past result has proved your plan will work?

I don't believe anyone suggested "it" can be stopped.

Delta is getting creative in many ways and defying conventional wisdom. Who would of thought that a Major airline would buy an oil refinery or own a regional? The question is why wouldn't Delta want to own a regional? Because of the risk of a "Comair like" strike right? Maybe not! I don't see too many more strikes going forward in the regional industry. This is simply because of the number of CRJ operators out there that can take over the flying with a moments notice coupled with the reduction of 50 seat flying. This was not really the case when Comair walked out because they were one of the pioneers of CRJ flying in the US and Delta would have had fewer options to move those planes in a timely manner. In short, the Comair pilot group had all the leverage. In the current environment Delta has all the leverage with many options for regional feed and 9E will probably never gain the upper hand and hurt Delta like Comair did. When they purchase us there subsequently less labor risk and they no longer have to subsidize the profit margins they are currently paying to Compass, SkyWest, ASA, etc.

Delta lost its taste for owning regionals because of liability after Bowling Green.

A flight with a DL code, operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary, on an aircraft owned by DL, with a first officer trained by the wholly-owned subsidiary's ab initio pilot school.

Sometimes vertical integration is bad for risk management - particularly if you don't have operational control.

Or Lexington.

You haven't a clue what you speak of...

Remembering the passengers and crew of 5191...

Not one competing carrier has offered to help you guys out to hold the fictitious line, do not lose sight of that.

And voting YES will ensure you get ZERO from other airlines. I don't expect anyone to bail me out ever. I will have the integrity to tell management to shove it. Will you?

 

[mesaba13]

Yeah, but is your company threatening shutdown right now? I didn't think so. It was interesting watching my dad go on strike 5-6 times over his 40 year career and never crossing a picket line and finally losing his career for it. He always said the guys spouting off the loudest about holding lines and shutting it down were usually the first to cross the picket lines. Just saying!
