Doesn't bother me any, what you guys don't realize is that we are not comair, the landscape is changing. The majors will be making more money which is good, regionals will be shrinking and making less money. Do you want to make 150000 as a captain of a regional that is always one cancelled contract away from going under or do you want to make 150000 as a 4 or 5 year fo? I don't care what anyone thinks of us becuase we voted and it over, it can't be changed. All the other regionals can go ahead and fight for industry leading contracts just so the can do what we did, go to chapter 11 a year later. Is it good? No but it's the way it is now. Pinnacle will be ok for at least 7 years which gives us time to move on or wait for a delta interview if they choose to do so

That's my point what the hell are you talking about " saving time"? Delta pushed out union and the pilot group to the corner to fly bigger planes at a minimum wage.

Pinnacle is the sell out of the industry. you claim it was for career progression... BS! you saved the senior 380 pilots and screwed the rest of the industry by buying the votes so that POS TA would pass. You misled your own pilots by showing pay rates from another regional airlines CRJ 700 rates to show that your CRJ 900's were making more per hour on your road shows. Saying you made more than compass, well how hard is it they are only 6 years old... They only are halfway up your pay scale. You top out at 20.00 a hour less than all other 700 operators (top out pay eagle and other airlines have 20 year scale with a lot of 20 year captains.) You should have grown a set and said no thanks, have some pride in this industry and STFD! Thanks and don't ever ask for a ride on any of my flights! there is no room for sell outs!

You are right. However, don't forget the few guys and gals that refused to vote in favor of this nonsense....we have a 15% sticker on the flight case in support of the good guys solidarity. I am truly ashamed my fellow pilots caved and didn't see the bluff for what it was. They are simply cowards!

Great idea... how do you determine who gets the sticker? I don't wanna see 45% of Pinnacle pilots running around with a 15% sticker, now!
