Pinnacle conference call

[jynxyjericho]

Conference call so far.

Sean:
1. No one would work with me to fix things.
2. I wanted to leave but they gave me a TON of money.
3. * crocodile tears*
4. Lets all work together please, you've been doing great so far... except what I said earlier about #1.

Did he say anything about the delta CR2's? Everything so far that I have read made it sound like there staying. I know it's early and everything Sean Menke says today is subject to change.

No... my phone dropped the call... what was the question?

 

[suupah]

Basically asking why the company wouldn't actively pursue furloughing out of seniority. He also bashed ALPA. Must be a real joy to fly with.

... and he is absolutely 100% correct. He was told by his union that "every airline brought something to this merger." Mesaba the new contract, and Colgan the Qs. Well, this pilot now realizes the contract won't be worth the paper it's printed on and the Qs are now gonna be gone. So that having been said, he's looking at furloughs from the bottom end of currently qualified Pinnacle and Mesaba FOs who are actually physically (DOH) senior to many Colgan pilots.

Not saying he's wrong. just a sign of battles to come.

is it the 51 delta owned 900's and crj 200's that are extended to 2022, or is it just the 200's
We know the 16 900's 9e owned 900's are going away.

I think this is not done yet and there is something else going on behind the scenes and delta is running the whole thing to their liking.

 

[altimaklr]

Eventually those 900's might well stay with 9E. The leases won't.

I guess I missed a good conference call! Sounds like the last called with a question was either an FO who got screwed or a cat III captain who got screwed. Why again were all the Colgan Q captains placed so senior? Oh that is right, they had a greater career outlook than the rest of us. just F'ing peachy

I am thinking ALPA will fight to the last on furloughing out of seniority order. I think in this case it could save a lot of money for the company but it would set a precedent that none of us would want to be exposed to in the future. That being said.......we shall see what this bankruptcy brings.

Somehow I do not think this one will include $20k into my 401k and a lot of new jets.

her is my question how are they not going to furlough out of seniorty. With the XJ 900 fenced off because of Block along with the 9E 200 there is now way in hell the judge doesnt furlough out of seniorty. Now if the chapter 11 jugde throws out the block SLI then I'll be damn and F'ing pissed off if a Q guy takes my seat. There is no way in hell the SLI stands.
