Pinnacle Buying Colgan

[WildBlue]

They will not lower pay with republic and skywest hiring so fervently. that would be just about suicidal for them.

Our work rules were pretty much bottom of the barrel but to tell you the truth, you don't screwed around with much here. but with out station basing it isn't very easy to exten or junior man someone. When outstation basing is changed it can and probably will be j. man/extension HELL!

That is exactly what happened to Pinnacle pilots under Trenary and his merry men. EXACTLY! Jr. manning and extension Hell!

Your quality of life and pay can change at the stroke of a pen and your aren't worried?

People have been bypassed for upgrade just because the management wanted to, and you aren't worried?

Phil can change your working environment after a bad Thai meal and what can you do?

Nothing.

These things don't happen at an ALPA carrier.

It's very simple if they intend to keep us seperate we don't give a crap about pinnacles pilot group and union. If they intend to use us in some way to screw the pinnacle pilots then yeah we will listen about this foreign to us union stuff. Until we see something change in our everyday lives however we don't care.

Head... meet sand.

It's not so simple, it's a Catch 22 if we wait until we see they are to use us against pinnacle pilots it will be too late by then to get something started. But if we start now, we could prevent such problem though it may have never have been a real problem in the first place. Oh and a lot of us do care.

This is getting delicate now and let's not get into a p*ssing match over this. This is the last thing we need right now and this goes to both sides.

Can't we all just get along like Rodney King?

You could always commute. No wait a second, no you can't.

Managment doesn't need to use any of us as a whipsaw against anyone else; we are perfectly capable of handling it on our own.

As the evidence shows on this very thread...

Now everyone simmer down and go to bed...and think RODNEY KING !

The world is one big Sh*t Sandwich and we all have to take a big bite out of it.

In other words, it's no skin off my back, buddy... just trying to help you out. Take it for what it's worth.

Cheers,

You're kidding right?

Your quality of life and pay can change at the stroke of a pen and your aren't worried?

I'm happy to know you all are so concerned about us. However, a little too concerned. You really should just be honest about this with yourselves and us and say what you're really worried about, YOU. That's fair and valid but don't veil your concern for your own job security with fake concern over what happens to all us good old boys and girsl at Colgan. We'll take care of ourselves.

And you must be kidding about "these things don't happen at an ALPA carrier" right? Did I miss the sarcasm?
