This is the funniest response I've ever read. I didn't know they let schizophrenics fly airplanes. Oh and XJHawk, there is nothing stopping you from downgrading yourself now. Go spend some time with the kiddos.
There's a lot of finger pointing going on in this thread, I might as well join in.
Here's who I blame:
Did I leave anyone out?
- Pinnacle management for having no ideas.
- Mesaba management for having only terrible, stupid, and costly ideas.
- Phil Trenary for pointing the plane at the ground and pulling the eject handle. "Your controls."
- Don Breeding for spending more time on the golf course than putting out the flames at the company.
- Sean Menke for letting the union run the integration with little or no regard for the bottom line. Only now when they realized they're broke is he intervening. Too little, too late. You can't have my paycheck.
- Mesaba's MEC for being rigid and inflexible in creating an integration plan. And whipping up some dumb*ss ideas, like 11-09. What better way to kill a regional airline than to flush the whole d*mn seniority system. Way to go, guys. Way to go.
- Mesaba in general. If it had been profitable to Delta, then they wouldn't have wanted to spin you off. Mesaba was, and still is, an obvious drain to whichever parent company owns it.
- Phil Trenary again. It was pure ego and hubris of Nonconnah that made them think they could save the Saabs. They thought they could do anything. Boy, they were wrong.
- Pinnacle's negotiating team. First for proposing a stupid, lopsided plan. Second, for not having their crap together. Third, for thinking that arbitration was a good idea. And last, for not fighting back when the fences were awarded so disproportionately. But hey, vacations are important too.
- All the Colgan pilots with shiny jet syndrome who decided to overload the training department by crossing over. I hope that extra 5 bucks/hr in the CRJ was worth a 5% giveback and a Chapter 11 filing.
Fairly faulty logic on many arguments here, but most notably the one highlighted. You will find proof of the opposite in your own SEC filings pre-Menke.
When you are a money loser, like Comair, you can't get sold. ASA, Mesaba, (under NW) Pinnacle, all were sold because they made money.
Wish I had the energy to go point by point on this but my second favorite part of this post is when you complain about Mesaba MEC(or something, it's hard to follow your rants) flushing seniority WHILE bitching about Colgan pilots holding positions on aircraft their seniority allows for. You are hurting for a day off and a beer.
