i think its because pinnacle won a 90 day reprieve on the 900 flying for delta. evidently comair was suppossed to be the beneficiary of that. it explains alot, i kept wondering how they were hiring while everybody else was bleeding.

Silly you for believing a baseless internet rumor. There is no 90-day reprieve. Nor will the current flying be pulled down. Once pinnacle gets its pilot contract closed the airplanes will resume delivery. Richard Anderson did this exact same move four years ago at Mesaba. Its a shame most don't learn from history.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I've always liked you, DoinTime.

Your success is Comair's failure. Cancellations to be announced!!!

???????

It seems only yesterday a couple Comair pilots here gloated about Pinnacle losing it's Delta flying, and that Comair was getting "its rightfully-owned" flying in ATL.

DoinTime is correct:

Deja Vu............

What are you congradulating pinnacle for?

Yes I have, it is nice to see someone is taking care of me.

Then its safe to assume that PCL's success coupled with Comair's failure that they aren't really taking care of you are they?

How are you being taking care of you? Just curious cause it almost still sounds like your still sucking tits with that statement.

Not to be the spelling police, but dude (with a Budweiser emphasis on 'dude').

Pilot Vacancy Bid 2008-04 Cancellation
Crew Forecasting & Planning is sorry to report that we are forced to cancel VB 2008-04. Because of the recent trend in attrition that we believe will last at least through the end of the year, the requirement to continue adding CRJ200 captains slows down dramatically. For the pilot group as a whole, we have adjusted the monthly attrition assumption from twenty-four pilots to ten. In June, six resignations were received; so far for July, three have been accepted.

So your attrition slows down because the majors are either not hiring or furloughing. What does this have to do with Pinnacle? I think a couple of your guys went over there as street captains, but not enough to make a huge difference.

I really tried to ignore this But I couldn't. First, there is no 90 day extension. Second, where in the world did Comair ever say they were upgrading because of Pinnacle, Briner himself says in RG we're hiring for the MEsa flying and Pinnacle has nothing to do with us. Third, if we were getting 900 flying "OH" sure as hell would not be upgrading a ton to JFK, since all the people that can upgrade to the 900 are in CVG, for the most part. People like the original poster make flying suck, I cannot stand flying with people that feel the need to whine about the industry to me, I think I know it sucks, try to have a litlle fun. You can always tell the people that were born in the CVG area, they're the most unhappy people.

Could you be more selfish?

WSURF- I was implying that you were taking care of me, and yes I have upgraded at Comair. I have absolutly no regrets leaving Piedmont for Comair. I didn't mean to try and bash anyone. I thought I was just stating the obvious. I need to learn to not post on this forum. All everyone does is bash you.

Well, when you created a thread implying you got screwed over because you weren't able to take someone else's flying, what did you expect?

It's funny, I can't help but wonder how the Pinnacle guys would feel and what they would say if Comair or ASA showed up in MEM with brand new 900's painted with red-tails!

Would you be a bit ticked that someone new is in your backyard taking opportunities away from your pilots already based there?

I think if you look back, you'll see most of the PCL pilots congratulating the Mesaba pilots when they got awarded the new flying for NWA on the -900s. I also haven't noticed any posts from Pinnacle pilots bashing the Compass guys for "taking" new flying that they could have gotten. PCL pilots are smart enough to understand that regionals don't "own" flying. Some of you other DCI guys still haven't figured that out.

DoinTime is one of the few FI posters that actually has a clue what he's talking about. Everyone around here would do well to listen to him, especially when it comes to anything having to do with Pinnacle, Phildo, or Anderson.
