somebody dun spilled the beans!

But I thought Delta loved SkyWest so much that they were immune to the whipsaw in their own base?

I just clicked on "have an update?" and said I work for Pinnacle (which I don't) and wrote that no RJs are going to SLC (which may or may not happen....I have no special knowledge.)

If it gets removed than my little test will have given you your answer.

Well.. the new base is going to the west coast.. They appearantly handed out some Pinnacle-Delta Crew Manuals to the flight attendents..

All west coast stuff..

EEEEhhh
Wrong

try Comair, ASA, Mesa, Express jet, and Republic on the Delta side; and Air Wisconsin, GoJets, TransStates, ACA, Shuttle America, and Mesa just to name the ones off the top of my head on the United side. On a side note, not all of the above are currently operating in SkyWest country. So whipsaw in our bases are nothing new. Just DCI standard practice.

Welcome to the DCI party.

A SkyWest pilot wanting ONELIST with my ASA brothers.

Bako Cap, you're so full of sh!t.

 

[dbchandler1]

Now its gone?

My spies say MCO

 

[wmuflyguy]

All this speculation over the bases. I want to know what the pay-scale is going to be.

 

[Bako Cap]

Bako Cap, you're so full of sh!t.

I don't get it. Why is wanting one list SkyWest/ASA make me full of sh!t? I would guess that you don't. That would be a difference of opinion. Do you always tell people they're full of sh!t if they have a different opinion?

Others, Sorry for the thread drift.

Bako,

It is because you are senior enough not to get screwed. You don't care about your brothers/sisters below you. I feel for ASA pilots, but you wish for one list because you don't like controversy. I would almost bet you are one of those pilots getting ready to leave SKYW and really don't care if things go to pot. I have flown with a bunch of ya'll and it makes me sick. "Yeah, vote in a Union" you say, "I don't care, I going somewhere else." I hear it from many of you. So I too respect your opinion. It is yours, but come on. And to the ASA pilots out there, this is not meant to attack you, just the pilots out there that want to bring the curse ya'll have to deal with here.

That would just take the cake! Comair shuts down a virtual base that costs them nothing, I start commuting to JFreakingK and 9e comes in here to keep the Free & Dumb Air boyz at bay.

Sad thing is, I could apply for a street CA job there and not have to commute for my 1K and out gig!

 

[Bako Cap]

Troutbait,

I've got no current plans to leave, so I'm vested into having SkyWest prosper. I'm not a union chest thumper, but I do dig controversy. Saddly, I to have seen the things you speek of online and do not care for it one bit. ONELIST will sting for me also due to a real possibility of being on a list junior to PFTers. But it is something I am willing to overlook to avoid a whipsaw. Union or not, 4400 pilots together will have a strength in pure numbers alone.

The Pinnacle MEC had sent a letter to Pinnacle Management saying it's time to schedule some negotiating sessions for 76 seat pay rates. Pinnacle Management responded with a bunch of mumbo jumbo about mediated negotiations that boiled down to this. They want to wait for a mediator to decide the pay rate 30 days prior as per the contract. Based on other regionals pay for CRJ900s they think they can get the lowest rate possible.

As for the base I found out that nobody in MEM really seems to know. Delta managers have been in MEM this week (you can watch them like fish in a bowl if you stand in the lobby and look into the conference room behind the reception desk) giving Pinnacle more information about what they will be doing. There is some sort of DOT regulation about having to designate the code share partner no later than 90 days before the flight operates but I haven't found it yet.
