Pinnacle TA Passes....

[outtahere]

While I sympathize with the pilots at pinnacle, this vote is unacceptable. You all have just thrown regional contracts back 15 years. Sometimes you have to stand your ground, but your group proved that you will bend over quickly. You spent 5+ years in negotiations (running on time, all the time!!) and ended up with a contract that didn't even match ours at ASA. Now you've fallen below EVERY regional jet carrier in the business! For what?? Two more years at what will be 2nd year pay at a decent airline?? This is disgraceful and shows the true cowardice of your pilot group.

Just remember, you reap what you sow.

I would suggest you look at the PCL pay rates and work rules. Then look at industry standard. Then re-evaluate your statement. PCL contract is not even the bottom. 15 years? Drama queen much?

Every single regional airline and regional pilot group (and ALPA) shares at least some responsibility for what happened at PNCL yesterday. Why? Here's why:

1) No unity whatsoever between pilot groups.
2) Completely unlivable and unacceptable first year pay at every single regional airline in existence.

Every pilot who has ever voted in favor of a regional CBA anywhere, including pre-BK Pinnacle and Mesaba, has given their personal OK that the vast majority of currently working pilots could not even remotely afford to start over at another regional. You just can't make at at pay in the $20/hr range. No way, no how.

If you are a regional pilot and want to place blame, just visit your mirror. This industry sucks, and all regional pilots who accept it as it is are responsible. No one reached out to help Pinnacle. This is what you get.

good post.

You will be starting over at 20/hr; only NOW you'll be making less until that point. Nice job.

Wow! 85% must be a surprising number even for those yes voters, way to bend over in unity.

Clutch, is this really all you see?
