ouch...1st Pinnacle pay check

[Ridgeback]

Well, got the new 9e paycheck, 14 year captain pay scale. $548.00 less per two weeks. Looks like a little over $1,000.00/ month less.

 

[greed]

Wow that hurts. Paycuts are always tough. Sorry to hear that my friend.

 

[bmpilot2003]

If the rest rules ever kick in that's gonna be another big kick in the sac!

 

[Dannone]

Did you vote yes??? ALPA should not represent regional airlines. I don't see how you guys were given the loaded gun to shoot yourselves with, but you didn't have to pull the trigger. In a couple of years when your paycheck is 0,000.00 per month are you going to say you didn't it coming?

 

[terminator]

I dont feel sorry for u at all. Every regional is watching you guys and gunning for lower contracts. Im sure my check will be goudge soon enough because we cant compete with your low ball contract. Guess what u can change pilot pay ramper pay or customer service u still going to have the same guys running the company. They good at mismanaging. Your company will have problems again and they will come for more pay. U guys did no favors for your brothers. Sorry just the truth

85% voted YES which means only 15% have a right to bitch about it like myself. Thank you yes voters now you can eat your own sh*t! Now.... can a yes voter chime in and say " well its better than nothing" or " Delta will shut us down if we vote down this TA". Bunch of spineless scabs.

 

[dvmthwsvan]

Spineless scabs?

 

[hou757]

Thank your co workers that voted yes! Pathetic.

 

[1.3XVso]

Spineless scabs?

Do you want me to elaborate?

 

[ex j-41]

Your group accepted those pay rates. Enjoy them.

 

[UncleRico]

Although I agree that they deserve what they voted for, they are not scabs. Spineless? Maybe, but never met them and I am not in their shoes, but they are not scabs. They never crossed a picket line. Save that word for people who cross the line.

And to think, many pilots across the board in this industry are getting pay raises now. Enjoy the new rates that your group overwhelmingly voted for.

By voting yes those are ALL signs of a scab when it comes down to a strike.

I remember the FIRST time I got displaced out of the CA's seat, then furloughed and had to start over at year 1 pay again. I think it was about $1800-$2000 less a month take home back then, ouch.

The SECOND time I got displaced from the CA's seat, about $1700 a month less take home, again, ouch.

Sucks, but remember, you STILL have a job, and you're STILL in the CA's seat.

85% voted yes to these paycuts, which means only 15% have a right to beotch.

 

[mesaba13]

And terminator we won't feel bad when they come for you next.

 

[Flyer1015]

It's a difference of opinions. I don't care where I work, what I do, if I am ever asked to voluntarily vote on a paycut, my answer will be the same NO as always. Screw their threats of shutting down if they can't find pilot concessions. If the company really needs pilot concessions as a viable business model, then that company needs to be shut down.

 

[ASA_Aviator]

The word "scab" is over used. It has a specific and powerful meaning. Don't dilute the power of that word by applying it incorrectly.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

What is the word on furloughs?

Ok I'll bite. I voted Yes for many reasons. The biggest was factor was that a NO vote was a vote to wind down Pinnacle and get NOTHING. I voted to keep my job, keep my health insurance, get an interview at Delta, and $12,000 in a lump sum payment. I decided to live not to fight another day but to live to move on.

So how about an honest answer form you. Through the road shows and RGS's it was CLEAR that by voting No would mean you get NOTHING. So by your BIG MAN declaration are you going to refuse your Delta interview and your onetime payment? Or are you going to be the guy with the "don't blame me I voted for Bush" bumper sticker?
