Pinnacle Buying Mesaba

[buscap]

The booger of all this is the crappy shoestring budget fooked up company bought the good company. The only hope is the Mesaba folks end up running things with most of the "synergies" gained by getting rid of all of Pinnacle's management. And bring Colgan completely in-house while you're at it.

Oh, yhea that sounds like the way the Memphis boys will allow things to play out:

A decent ammount of unprofessional and irresponsible pilots. This stems from numerous accidents and incidents over the last few years. Just a personal opinion I have formed along with many others based on facts, statistics, and past personal experience I have seen from 9E. I am not going to rehash past posts and threads but if you do any in depth research on the company, you'll see what I mean. Folks that disagree with me have their own opinion....and that's fine. I, along with many others have mine. Just a few....MKE crj off roading, Montana TAWS event, TVC overrun, Jefferson MO, highest violations in DCA on departure a few years back, Type 4 deice fluid for enroute icing, and can keep going but I would be here all night. I always take heat from a few 9E pilots on here for my opinion, but I don't care. I have seen enough from that company over the years to form a rational opinion about the company. End of story. And no, it's not just another regional like Mesaba. Mesaba has a 100% safety record. No fatalities in the history of the airline. And Mesaba is the oldest regional operating in the country. There are certain places I would work and wouldn't work. Pinnacle is a place I would not work. There are better places to get used and abused.

I tried to tell you last time that you would be Phil's personal bi**h, but you thought I was joking. So is it safe to say you quit as of this morning????

Fock You!!!!!!!!

How long before you guys have to bid the Q400 and the saabs?

 

[chjack]

so two of the better regionals, get bought by two of the lower tier regionals. Thereby becoming subject to their management, work rules, and benefits. Things are headed in the wrong direction.

 

[Flyer1015]

Two better regionals? Yah right! ALL regionals SUCK. Some just worse than others. But they all suck. 'Regionals' and 'better' should not be used in the same sentence.

Not going to happen, I quit, it's that simple, 17 years down the tubes. Got the apps going out if no luck it's back into the Military I guess.

Who cares as long as you are not there to kill us. I will fly with a Mesaba guy on the Q before I have to spend 4 days saving myself from getting killed by you!!!! You don't get it and neither does big D.

 

[flap operator]

Well, if anything, todays announcement should be motivation enough for Mesaba guys to dust off the logbook and get the flock out! I know I am.

 

[snap145]

I wondered how long it was gonna take before the few low class XJ guys came out with the verbal bashing...remember this and only this...9E PILOTS DID NOT MAKE THIS DESICION...nor was the Buffalo crash a 9E crew or airplane...I will say to those of you who are senior at XJ...do not jump the gun and give all your years of hard work up...intergration will take at least two years to complete and will not even begin until we have a new TA at 9E (lord knows thats prolly gonna take awhile)...why are you all surprised??? you knew Delta had NO intention of keeping you or Compass...theyd drop Comair like a prom date if they werent so expensive...point is this...it is very irrational and premature for anyone at XJ to be writing a resignation letter after years and years of hard work for a good company bc they are afraid of 9E management...except for SEVEN...take a hike..you make your coworkers look bad...XJ guys, this much I can promise you...our MEC's will work together as diligently as possible to complete a fair integration (WHEN THE TIME COMES)...until then...this is the same thing as ASA and Skywest...you are all nothing but high class in my experience, and I can say I would be concerned, pissed, dumbfounded and all the other things if I were in your shoes right now...I wish you all the best of luck because it is going to be just as interesting and uncertain future for our pilot group as it is for yours...good luck to all of us...were gonna need it

and you dont think you are being the least bit irrational? like every last one of us that flies for 9E gets up and pisses ourselves every morning while we face Mecca and pray to you Mesaba gods of aviation...give me a break! get off your high horse drama queen...your no better than any one of us..you just get paid alot more to do the same job...goodnight!

I hopped on this board just to read about what was going at my old company, and it didn't take long to figure out what a tool you must be. I spent more than a decade at Mesaba and was around to say goodbye to the Metro's. Those were some of the best people I've ever had the privilege and honor to work with. Likewise, the pilots I have worked beside at AirTran share those same qualities.
You Sir, are an embarrassment.
