9E Wins Race to Bottom

[gojo]

That person is just doing a lot of chest thumping. Obviously has not done any research or has been through anything like this. This is my second bankruptcy and this is my 4th contract I have been around to see voted. Until there is a way to actually hold those mainline airlines to the fire, and not to let them whipsaw the jobs around this is a lost cause. If you are so unhappy with your career-you quit and show me you have some integrity in holding the line. Because no matter where you are (regional) you are hurting our industry with your pitiful low pay. I am surprised with your attitude you even accepted the job you currently hold! You are too good for it obviously. Oh wait-that is all there is? You need to stay current and have a job till the majors start hiring? Or you need to pay the bills? Welcome to our argument. If we did not accept this, my only option was to go overseas (harder than you think to get one of those jobs and to make the decision to leave my kids) or go to Go Jets and have even worse rules and less opportunity.

Kiss my Ass-mind your own business and shut your trap unless you actually think before you type something about a situation you know nothing about

The one's that are the most vocal about this TA are the ASA pilots.They are worried about this TA making it harder to get a good contract for them. And rightfully so. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but until your MEC and all the other ALPA carriers hold the line together, this whip sawing will never stop. He11, a good start would have been if DALPA would have figured out a way to put in their latest contract (all contract flying must be done by ALPA carriers). But they didn't give two sh1ts for us lowly regional carriers. And as the saying goes, the you know what rolls downhill.

For all the haters out there I will be happy to NOT lower the bar for you. I only ask that you provide me with a list of jobs that are currently open that share pinnacles basic pay and time off. So please provide the open jobs that will pay me $85,000/ year and I want at least 10 days of vacation each month. Please respect the question, I don't want to hear go back to school, I need the pay the day I quit for you.

Thanks

Or how about you quit your job in support for us? Ya, then we could hold the line together

You offering DOH on your list to "hold the line"?

140 CRJ 200 trade for 30 CRJ 900's is your argument? I would have gladly let that happen and stayed separate. But the blame here is on Delta and their shady business practices. If I would do this to my neighbor I would be in jail for bribery, coercion, and insider trading.

Yet you still will vote "Yes" and try to explain why you didn't have a choice.

We all have choices. Sometimes the hard ones are the ones that determine what kind of person we are. And how flexible our beliefs can be. I don't need much to live. Took me a long time to figure that out. But when a mid ohio school bus driver gets the same pay if not greater than me... thats where i draw the line. I can quit tomorrow and be happy fishing in florida. A healthy state of mind is far more important to your family than living out of a suitcase 20 days/month.

Then you should quite. You fly for an regional right? You are lowering the bar for the industry. Please scan your resignation letter, so we can all see it. Thanks for not lowering the bar by working at a regional.

Whew. Where do I start?
I despise when people say "just quit". Just such an ignorant comment.
What I will do is hold my own and when it comes to my turn to vote, I will only vote to raise the bar. If and when I am given that opportunity.
We are all overworked and under paid. Why in the world would you vote to lower the already low wages?

Ridge, please disregard. I quoted you in error on my phone. I'm on your side.

You may dispise the comment "just quit", but that is what you are telling people to do by voting no. Their no vote says "I quit" because your pay is too low. You said it right in your post, you are underpaid and are voting yes by continuing your employment at your current airline. You should vote no on your own by quitting like you want everyone at Pinnacle to do.
