How is the relative seniority of one group to the other. 3:1 WOULD be unfair if both groups had identical longevity.
 
I had a 9e fa tell me the other day, "we are getting 37 900's from mesaba and they are all going below us because they were running their company into the ground". Honestly that's what she said. After I collected myself, I reminded her that mesaba has 41 900's and that what they were doing to them was terrible. I told her that people with years and years of experience would be getting shafted. I told her attitudes like hers suck and reminded her that what goes around comes around.
This is what is being brainwashed into our flight attendants

Well, I'm embarrassed for the Pinnacle FA's.
 
This is old news... (Not nearly as old as the average MSP FA) but they already hatched a plan with mgmt to force all the XJ FA's to props, or accept a 3:1 split on the jet about 2 months ago. Colgan FA's will be unaffected except for a very few XJ FA's who might decide to make a run to IAH.
 
I keep asking them if they know what Mckaskill-Bond act of 08 is.....? They keep telling me "WE BOUGHT EM". I have tried to educate, but there are some people that think that the piece of mail that says "YOU ARE A WINNER" really only came to their mailbox.

I can't even apologize for them, they simply need help. I hope AFA gets the law involved. While I am not an FA, the company will suffer, which impacts us, and I frankly don't want the 9E drama/attitude/cat fights that will ensue if this goes off as the USW has dreamed.
 
Even with a 3:1, Mesaba's FA's will come out ahead. The average cycle for flight attendants at Pinnacle is 6 months to 3 years, very few stay beyond that.
 
I here Pinnacle pilots all the time say "we bought em" and "they ran their company into the ground"... This is not only a FA occurrence. Sorry, a lot of 9E pilots don't want me to say it, but that is what a bunch of them say.
 
Yeah, our FAs got their 3-to-1 against Mesaba, I can't wait until we pilots get our 3:1 against Mesaba. Actually, 3:1 might be too lenient. 5:1 is better, and more fair. After all, we bought you, and you were a shrinking carrier.

Most of those cart pushers think there should be a staple.

The only things that should be stapled are the stomachs of many of the MEM flight attendants. And maybe some of their upper arm waddle too. Yikes.

We all look forward to your posting a recent photo of yourself......:rolleyes:
