Pinnacle's new toy?

In the unlikely event that they would merge, it wouldn't be a staple job like AA/TWA.

The AA/TWA deal was not a staple job. It may not be pretty on the TWA side but about 400-500 ex TWA pilots still have jobs.

The standard is to merge one for one by date of hire.

Are you an ALPA pilot? Read the ALPA merger policy. It does not work like that.
DOH is not the standard.

You are GROSSLY misinformed about ALPA merger policy. It is no longer date of hire. It goes by career expectation and since Comair's expectations now are not good (owned by a soon to be bankrupt Delta) and ours is much greater, we should make out quite well in any "merger" with Comair.

I really want to comment but I won't... Though I will say this, DON'T GO TO 410, it's not that special... Really, I swear.

Pinnacle is now a public company. I think its PNCL on the market. As far a Pinnacle buying Comair, thats the funniest thing ive heard since hearing that Southwest was talking with us about becoming there feeder!

Losers!

I am embarrased that I am in the same profession as all you "410" morons!

PCL pilots have some penis-envy esque type fascination with 410, they have some club that they are in if they have been to 410, pretty effin tool bag-ish!

You losers are dangerous in the cockpit!

C ya,

My parents asked if I would get them passes for a NWA round trip, when I realized it was operated by PCL, I saw images of 2 young/green CFI's in the front of a CRJ saying to each other, "what does this button do?"


Seriously though, its the old acid test question, "would I put my wife/family on the a/c?" NO EFFIN WAY!

Sorry PCL children!

This 410 club didn't start at PCL. I, nor anyone I know here, had ever heard of the 410 club until the NTSB brought it up.

Geez, you are really cool! Anyway, the official ALPA merger policy does not actually mention a one for one seniority integration, it is a process of meditation and possibly arbitration,so I stand corrected. Since you guys wouldn't post the actual policy, here it is for anybody who wants to know:

1. The merger representatives shall carefully weigh all the equities inherent in their merger situation. In joint session, the merger representatives should attempt to match equities to various methods of integration until a fair and equitable agreement is reached, keeping in mind the following goals, in no particular order:

a. Preserve jobs.

b. Avoid windfalls to either group at the expense of the other.

c. Maintain or improve pre‑merger pay and standard of living.

d. Maintain or improve pre‑merger pilot status.

e. Minimize detrimental changes to career expectations.

Geez, you are really cool!

If knowing about the ALPA merger policy makes you cool then I guess I am Miles Davis.

I think all of you need a "time out".

Red Tail did say that in the "Majors" forum, but wouldn't respond when I questioned him/her about it a couple days ago.

Personally, I think he heard a rumor and just perpetuated it on the message board fishing for more info.

Pinnacle probably DOES have the cash on hand to buy another regional, although it would leave us with very little operating capital, but that's not the stated focus of our management group.

They seriously want to form a *************************s operation and bid on flying with some other carrier; they state their "desire" to use our pilots "IF" we can come to a "realistic" bargaining agreement. *cough* BULLSH*T!

Putting money in my strike fund every pay period... we're going to need it if we're not going to bend over and take it.

Edit one: has anyone else noticed that now the Blowjets use of their actual name is considered an expletive on this forum? How interesting...

Wow, your right! The above is a ************************* and of course the second G0jet using a zero.

Why is that considered an expletive?
