Where will the GIA pay-to-fly pilots go if Pinnacle stops hiring?

ASA has been painting planes for over a year. We are still losing 20 next year. What do you expect?!?!? ALL of your 200's are painted NWA colors! What do you expect? Of course they are painting those to the Delta livery. That certainly does not mean you will keep all of them.

But hey, live in that safe cozy dream world all you want.

There is nothing wrong with helping your children along with college. I have 3 kids and I contribute each and every month to their college accounts. To pay the entire bill for a kid's education teaches them nothing and will do more harm than good. They must learn the value of the dollar and that nothing is free in life. This is the problem with the next generation. They don't have to work for anything. They are spoiled and think they are entitled to everything. Guess what. Education isn't free and life isn't as well. Let kids have some pride in the value of an education. Having them pay for some of it teaches them responsibility and pride. Believe it or not, this is what responsible parents teach their kids.

Well said.

Well said.

I too agree! But time in and time out I hear people bitch and moan about this. I guess I was just sick of hearing it. There are people out there that flaunt the fact they went to expensive school and what not, this is BS. I think the people that talk it up are lying.

I don't tell people about how I grew up or what my family does for a reason, I don't want people to think I was given a free ride. Granted I did have alot of things afforded to me, but my family always made it a point to teach the value of a dollar.

Sorry if I came off as rude.

the comment about Pinnacle staffing is this...we are staffed very thin and I would not worry much about furlough...and the pilots with no time hopping in the jet...We all make rookie mistakes...we need to learn from them and I made mine in a cargo plane...These guys are doing it in a jet and often don't seem to realize it. It can be very frightening

Wow, you're a smart one.

They were painting the AVRO's at Mesaba right up until they ALL went bye bye.

It's almost unbelievable to me that 9E is talking about furlough. That company has been struggling to fill its seats for almost as long as I can remember. There were a few years when it was hiring street captains.

 

[Smoke Toliet]

The 9E pilot group should be embarassed with their inablity to make them give them a contract. Considering the last 9E captain on our j/s (I think he said he was #20 on the sen list) bragging about how he always gets the flight out on time, I don't have any faith. Maybe one day I'll be proven wrong.

This airline is full of on-time, company toolboxs. We won't get a contract until the NMB releases us, these a-holes wake up and fight or Delta tells us to get it done.

 

[Carl_Spackler]

Don't anyone worry...as soon as Obama is elected we will have a contract.

That's because the majority of your pilots came from Gulfstream Airlines. They actually paid the company to fly. You should be grateful that Pinnacle is paying the pilot now. It's a big step for some of these guys.

All of the Gulfstream guys at 9E are a disgrace. As far as a contract for them in the near future; when DAL begins to put some massive pressure on them and threats of losing flying come, the contract will get signed. Until then, the games continue.

And then maybe Delta will give a bunch of their airplanes to someone else like they did to ASA in their negotiations!

Ha! That theres funny. I don't care who you are.:laugh:

Considering we had no contract for 4 years under bush, I think I can give Obama a few months to get settled in. His new appointee has not even begone her post yet has she?

Just about to be confirmed by Congress. Here's hoping...

 

[Abbey]

Has this appointee paid their taxes?

9E still doesn't have a contract??? Man, I remember Jan 2004 when the ultra cool 9E pilots were talking smack about how the Mesaba pilots accepted a weak deal. Of course, they had all been on property for a whole 3 years.

Here's to you, 9E. Hoping you get the work rules that Mesaba has enjoyed since 1996.
