New Pinnacle Management team

[Monster Buck]

actually i have been getting reports from fo's complaining about mesaba captains still running around dropping the brake on time, OPENing the cabin door with no gate agent AND leave the aircraft to go find a gate agent!!! WTF is that all about? Now i can see a good percentage of the 85% scab vote coming from the mesaba side.

You said just the opposite just a few years ago.

you pinnacle cronies better pick up that On-time and A14 performance back up!~!!!!! :uzi:

Just so you remember.

Borderline Personality Disorder

By John M. Grohol, Psy.D.​

The main feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image and emotions. People with borderline personality disorder are also usually very impulsive.
This disorder occurs in most by early adulthood. The unstable pattern of interacting with others has persisted for years and is usually closely related to the person’s self-image and early social interactions. The pattern is present in a variety of settings (e.g., not just at work or home) and often is accompanied by a similar lability (fluctuating back and forth, sometimes in a quick manner) in a person’s emotions and feelings. Relationships and the person’s emotion may often be characterized as being shallow.
A person with this disorder will also often exhibit impulsive behaviors and have a majority of the following symptoms:

• Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
• A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation

You would pay for what everyone else is getting for free, kinda like sex!

What happened to the other 9E rant thread? I need two for entertainment.

Gumm’s goal for Pinnacle is to be a world-class regional airline

WTF is a "world-class regional airline" LOL

And how does one become a world-class regional airline? One class of service? After bending over the pilots and forcing them concessions? Yeah, that "one class of service" should go over well. You should be insulted by such an email.

And if Delta really is takig over those infrastructure issues, it will be that much easier/quicker to winddown 9E if and when they want.

PCL is nothing but Delta's 1980's B scale and Moak and DALPA facilitated it.

B scale?

[credit goes to a 9E FO for this one.....]

7th year CRJ FO makes 37/hr and 7th year DC9 FO makes 118/hr. It's not a B scale, it's a freakin (modified f word) Z scale!

Um wait a minute you said numerous times they voted this in!


Come on Flyer spin it again for us slow folks.

Yes they voted it in. Based on fear. Only 15% were willing to call out the bluff.

But come on, you're a Delta pilot, surely you can see this for what it is. "One level of service" after the 9E group basically got bent without lube? Even you should be holding up the red BS flag. One level of service with a A scale and a Z scale (at best).

You. Voted. Yes. I forgot you flowed to delta... Never mind monster kok

 

[Monster Buck]

Yes its bs but its what the Delta customers want to hear and want they want Delta to shoot for. It comes straight from the HVC surveys. Hence they are going to cater to them as best as possible.
Only us pilots really understand the disconnect between this new desired service level and how the regional employees feel. Also pinnacle is just one of the DCI's.

Yes, so was Comair. So what's the point?

 

[big shacks]

What's hilarious is pinneapple won't be able to staff their craft in the coming years..abort...abandoned ship...

 

[Waylon]

Personally I am glad to see a management change, especially JR. Staffing will be a huge issue but those are managements problems not ours. I am sure they have all the answers just ask them.

[sinkrate]

That pretty much seals the deal. Delta has no intention of PCL ever being an independent company again. The senior management team is now all Delta employees and all the back office functions will be done by Delta in ATL. PCL is nothing but Delta's 1980's B scale and Moak and DALPA facilitated...

So, as everyone starts leaving for AMR and United and PCL can't staff their B scale RJ's what's Delta going to do?





Spin-one-inncle is the new Comair. They'll close your doors when they can't staff ya.

No kidding - really?

Until you look at your schedule and realize you are getting 11 days off every month because someone has to cover the flying.

True. Never underestimate what 9E will do to your schedule/life when they are desperate. They tried to JM into a day off, into the wife's bday. I refused, and that was the first time I refused a JM. I had never been called into the office or anything like that. Not only did I get a carpet dance, but they even sent up the tapes from MEM! Fedex them right over and for what? I was lucky to walk out with no repercussions but this is the kind of thing that can get ugly quickly.
