Knowing that there are also good guys and gals at Pinnacle, I propose this question:
What flavor is the Kool-Aid that they are making you drink over there?
The above question is based on my following observations:
1. You honestly believe that the bad ramp service in DTW will directly affect your ability to bid for more flying from NWA.
2. Last year's Christmas debacle was caused by Mesaba.
3. While I'm signing your jumpseat form, you complain to me how the last two months have "sucked" because you have been in CA upgrade ground school and you can't wait for it to be over (this pilot's senority was around one to two years).
4. Your second certificate will be used to benefit the 9E pilots and secure more growth and prosperity for Pinnacle.
5. Plus, "Because the CRJ has no slats, we come in really fast. Faster than a seven-five. You turboprop guys should use the inside runways at DTW and stagger with the departures so you don't clog up the jets landing on the outside runways."
6. That you are getting ERJ-170's because you heard from your friend that he heard from a guy that your exec's were testing out an ERJ-170 sim the other day.
7. That NWA does not control you because you are a "separate company".
8. You also believe that Mesaba started to get CRJ's because, even though our pilot contract is more expensive, 9E management refused to operate them "at a loss" just to aquire growth. (Yes, I read your CEO's memo too)
Now, before someone gets all wound up at me, reread my first sentence. The observations listed are all my first-hand personal accounts in dealing with Pinnacle pilots (CA's and FO's).
Is the Kool-Aid some sort of berry flavor?
