Pinnacle Contract?

[Sun Devil 2000]

See what you started Bluto. By the way, I tried to get you that copy but my computer is just too darn slow!

 

[Simon Says]

Most of this statement is true...

The questionable part is if it will be the EMB-170.. it will be something bigger than the CL-65 that is for sure. Just remember WHEN/IF this will happen is the real question.

Not to flame, but just to bring up a point.

Do you guys have scope, and if you do what kind of language is it? The reason I am asking is that 9E would love to purchase another certificate and start transfering flying to them. Just like others.

I know there is more, but I cannot remember. So I definatley would not get excited about 9E buying another certificate. Especially during section 6.

What's the difference between Iraqi war prisoners and Pinnacle pilots?

Iraqi war prisoners didn't encounter that bad abuse

You hit the nail on the head.. I have heard the mgmt wants a NON-UNION carrier.. Why not? others have tried it..

We are NOT excited about another certificate, the line pilots don't drink from the kool aid table, only the new hires do... Maybe some of the lower time guys will buy into it (where is Training when you want him). This is not a ploy for section 6, this is corporate wanting to increase thier bonus's while they still can.

No problem, some fine PCL folks have helped me out. Thanks for the effort though.

Dude, respectfully, I disagree. If I was offered a chance to fly the EMB-170, I would take it in a second, union or not. I know many others who feel the same way.

 

[Flybet3]

of course

What others like you, PFTs who post fake flight time and airplanes they've never even flown. OK then.

Is it too early to put 8HR on a scab list?

I would fly the emb-170 for free if i had to. I represent the "new status quo".

Mr. New Status quo, I have a job opening for you.

We have just launched a company based out of Asheville, NC. We've had a successful start, and for the first month, we posted a $500,000 profit. Now, due to corporate expansion that's expected for the next five years, we have talked with Embraer to provide one E170. The aircraft will be leased to us. We are looking to hire 1 pilot, a First Officer. One of our employees is already qualified to be the captain.

The requirements are that you need to pay us $25,000 for the E170 type rating and initial training.

After that, once you start flying on the line, there will be no pay. You will have to fly out of Ashville, NC. We cannot help you with housing, expense per diem pay, etc.

To sum up, there is no pay whatsoever, and in fact, we just need a check for $25,000 for your type rating and initial training.

Mr. New Status Quo, we look forward to working with you. Email me your resume at:

Dude, dont you get tired of being retarded...it's amazing how some people can just be tottaly oblivious of when they are being annoying and retarded. You're no pilot, just a moron with a purchased pilot license.

Ask the Freedumb guys how it felt to leave the union carrier for the non-union company. Ask them how it felt being denied the jumpseat, ask them how it felt having their names on a list. Then ask them when they "lost" the non-union status how it felt getting intergrated back to the union seniority list. Many paid the price dearly, many still do to this day.

One funny thing about this industry.. peep's don't forget.. The CAL/EAL thing was what.. about 20 years ago and it is still talked about today.

Are you trying to say that you would not throw it all away to fly the
CRJ-900!!!

I didn't think so. It has always been my experience that this is an industry with a VERY short memory for such acts. These pioneers have the last laugh.

 

[dondk]

yes.. I am .. just like women say (or claim).. SIZE does not matter... what matters is how I can feed my family...

NO ONE will offer the -900 for industry leading wages.. unless there is a contract (and a union) behind it...

Fly a 747 for regional pay. what do you gain? you still can't feed your family. Get your priorities straight...

read flying the line 1 and 2, then come back and we can have a realistic conversation.
