Pinnacle pilots vote 99.39% in favor of a strike.

[John Pennekamp]

Yeh, we'll see what happens..

As sad as it is, a strike vote in this day and age is just another phase of contract negotiations...

Yeah means absolutely nothing. Don't get excited for no reason.

My point, exactly. Keep fighting, don't start beating your chests yet. Be VERY SAFE 100% OF THE TIME. Get it? You'll have a contract in no time.

Exactly! It took 5 years but ASA pilots finally got together and flew "by the book". Do exactly what your POH or FOM says. Taxi at a safe walking speed. If ANYTHING is broken, write it up. (do a search, there is a LOT on a CRJ that breaks a lot). It took just under 1 month of doing this and magically we had a contract TAd. With that % of a strike vote you should all make this happen. What was participation %?

Its a moral booster to the guys flying the line, and with the Bush regime leaving office we airline pilot peons may soon have strike leverage back.

A 99+ strike vote isn't going to change things drastically but it does tell management that even if our pilots are backed into morgages and debt they are fed up enough to become fatalistic about there jobs and strike regardless of their personal finances because this company has sucked the life out of 99+% their employees.

I'd say 1.5 years from anything exciting happening..

A stike vote is like french kissing your grandmother.

Obviously they didn't do a panty check in your mothers drawers, or they would have found the stain you crawled out of...

Yes, they did. When all was said and done, there were two seats for the crew and a sliding jumpseat for an XCM up front. There's also 50 seats for passengers in the back and a flight attendant jumpseat as well.
