Excellent job, guys. Stand up to those sons of bitches and get what you deserve.

so where does the pncl pilot group stand now? where in the process is everything? mediation board? close the 30 days of cooling off?

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

A stike vote is like french kissing your grandmother.

BTW did they do a seat check when Pinnacle slide the RJ in the dirt today?

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.

To those who think that a strike vote is an act of futility, I ask this:

What else would you do? Throw your hands in the air and resign that you have been foresaken by the airline gods?

Management already has an easy of enough time of taking advantage of their respective employee groups. Why make it any easier for them? A strong showing such as this, albeit inactionable for the time being, will give the management team pause.

It's not an act of futility...

However, in this day and age, it is just another step in contract negotiation process..

It is a positive thing, but I don't expect anything to happen any time soon..

To put it simple - we are gonna have to disrupt a lil' service just like the ASA fellas did...

Excellent job, guys. Stand up to those sons of bitches and get what you deserve.

With all due respect PCL, you guys need to push the Eastern youth to do the same. Souds like they must be your problem now, not the Easter guys per say.

And by the way, I don't like hats either!!!! I think LUV is proof that they don't make a difference when it comes to compensation. This is a friendly disagreement by the way. I support your fight.

Congratulations to the Pinnacle pilots for the vote. Now just hope that you guys can get released so that you can engage in self help if need be. Regardless, the vote shows that your ranks do have a spine.

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 significant majority of the old farts in the left seat (and probably a good number in the right) voted for the Bush regime and against our pocketbooks in the first place.

We at ASA did that 3 years ago, and it didn't do anything except give ALPA some material for their press releases.

Well that and it gave Republic the contract that was supposed to go to ASA, remember the lift for Continental?

Oh, you mean the contract that SkyWest, Inc. did not bid on because it didn't make financial sense?

You guys have pulled this card before and got called on it. Each time you bring it up you have less and less credibility.

I was a NH when this Continental thing was going down, but anyways, our then Prez BL came in and blatently said , "We are exploring options to fly for Continental's available contract." You do not have to, nor will you believe me. But according from the proverbial horse's mouth, the bid was there.
