Colgan new aircrafts

[suupah]

pinnacle guys,

Wait and see what happens on the colgan side before you judge

Putting a lot of faith in the trusty ol' management at Nonconnah Blvd, are you?

No just haven't lost my faith and trust in the ones at Avaiation Lane in Manassas VA.

At least there are two of us.

Trust airline management? Thought that was only at Southwest?

Even though Colgan will remain a separate entity, the Colgan management will be controlled by PT the Clown!



Why do I have a feeling that one day, 70-76 seater RJs will be dangled in front of Colgan as carrot, while PT pressures Pinnacle pilots into accepting a substandard crappy contract?

Too bad they aren't in control of your airline anymore.

We trust the devil we know

Too bad they aren't in control of your airline anymore.

Says you. As of now there are no changes being made we don't like. We recognize that may change in the future, but most aren't willing to make such a huge change as bringing in a union before that happens.

I know you say that it will be too late then, but many of us feel differently.

You ask us to put our blind faith into ALPA, a devil we are unfirmiliar with. ALPA is the one that got you that substandard industry contract right? ALPA is the one that signed off on scope language that doesn't protect you at all in a situation like this, right?

Sounds like you guys should be rexamining your faith in your union and not just your management. Just my opinion.

Good luck to everyone.

They have a lot of control until that 10 mil stock certificate matures in one year. Then, anything is fair game

Why do you choose to learn things the hard way? Look at the industry around you. This game has already been played many times before, and the only winners are the managers. We need to work together to prevent that same outcome this time around.

That contract was signed in '99. At the time, it was a pretty good contract for a Saab operator. We had no jets back then.

ALPA is the one that signed off on scope language that doesn't protect you at all in a situation like this, right?

That's your interpretation. We'll see what happens.

Actually, the majority of them aren't. It's just a few guys on here. Most of the Colgan pilots are smart enough to see what is really going on here. I'm not worried about what our Colgan brothers will do.
