New Pinnacle Management team

[Kaman]

I am beginning to think that the General is a textbook case of internet manic depression...

 

[Kaman]

CDR Wilbur NEVER served as Commanding Officer of NLSW.

I hope the first thing this new "team" does is fire SEVEN!

You know he has been right before.....

Had to buy my whole uniform here at DAL and no uniform reimbursement. it is a tax write off at least.

We already bought our uniforms, before this debacle, then the company chose to change them... well part of them. Thier choice, their cost at that point.

Sorry people, but you are living in a dream world if you think 9E is going to operate Delta 717s.

 

[Flyer1015]

And besides, why would you want 717s at the regional level? Have some respect for yourself and aim a little higher.

Definitely a demotion, just above "special projects". To go from VP's and international positions with the global major carrier Delta to Pinnacle in msp!!
Maybe just a cushy corner to hangout until retirement.

I would blame your union for not working out an LOA with 9E.

These guys are only in their 50's.

Delta is putting a lot of talent into this company. That is a good sign for the future.

Don't know If you remember but at Comair our last THREE leaders were from mother Delta. Please don't forget that. Sometimes "past performance can indicate future results".

Good Luck to you guys.

So the paycut; effective tax rate going down.

yessssss!

But seriously folks, I don't really care what you had to do at Delta, unless someday I'm Delta. I can barely keep our contract straight. My blue/black/grey/yellow/captain Mesaba grey hat as Pinnacle FO is an approved uniform. I'm happy to wear my ridiculous company approved patchwork uniform. You should be thanking me for keeping staying in professional attire during these times, it's so easy to get negative.

 

[mesaba13]

Who were those last three Comair leaders from Delta?

 

[dvmthwsvan]

I'm not sure about them being the last three but the three were Selvaggio (sp?) who ran Song in to the ground then came to Comair, Fred Butrell who headed up DCI before he came, and Bendoritis who broke the mechanic's union at Northwest before the merger. Gumm came from Mesa and the other was the Coamir CFO before he took the helm.

They did, the hat was made officially optional and they approved the blue trench coat to continue to be used with the new black uniforms rather than buy us black coats.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

You must be getting A340-500s then. We know you're proud of your new company. Afterall, you saved it!

lmfao ...some people here actually think they saved this company I kid you not.

Hey General,

We are that much closer to a B-scale with DAL. You might be surprised before long.

No, I won't be. The 717s are mainline planes, and your largest plane still hasn't changed from 76 seats, and it is extremely doubtful that it ever will. It didn't in this last contract, and actually reduced the total number of RJs by 140 or so. And your "B scale" sure doesn't seem like a B scale, but if you say so.... Luckily, all 3 legacies will eventually hire big time. Throw in some apps if you want the A scale, all 3 should be close within a few years. Good luck!


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[jynxyjericho]

And your "B scale" sure doesn't seem like a B scale,

Yeah, kind of a D scale (yes I know I voted for it).

 

[bri5150]

it is extremely doubtful that it ever will.
Bye Bye---General Lee

So your tellin' me there's a chance? . As I said in a different thread, everyone has a price.
