What the hell is a 9E legacy pilot?!?!?

He did have a point....the first 1000 times he said it. Nobody ever does as well as they hope in seniority integration. That's just the name of the game. Get over it.

You are obviously not on airlinkpilots.com. It is definetly not the ex-Mesaba pilots that need to "get over it". Some of the talk there is downright childish.

How can I get over it? Oh yeah, leave. That was my plan to begin with and I only bring it up when others bring it up. I respect flyers opinion even if I do not agree with some of the things he says-I actually admire him for being able to jump ship when he did. My points about the union was that we were led down a path and told that SLI was the best option for our careers. If they did not have access to the health of all three parts of the Pinnacle puzzle they never should have said it was the best thing for us. When it is evident that they did not know-what they knew was it was best for the ultra senior-and that is all that mattered.

This is for you doing time-i am sick of dealing with it and want to stop making my point. But when its evident that there are some who lack the knowledge of what really happened.

But where we sit now is if you do not have an seniority number greater than 450 than you should probably be looking for somewhere else to work. Some people actually think Pinnacle is a candidate for the 2:1 ratio for turning in 200's for 900's. I think they need to take a hard look at Skywest and ASA, their management does not want to lose their 200's for a less amount of 900's for Delta and they have ASA contracts, owned gates, and in the case of ASA at ATL-80% of the regional lift out of there. Delta does not need to negotiate with Pinnacle to remove 200's-they just need to make them unprofitable and then tell their cronies that are now in charge to go to the bankruptcy judge and say they are unprofitable so they need to be parked. It seems to be going that way now-as the ASA has already been renegotiated with Delta and the company has said the loss of the 200's is now a part of their future business plan. So Delta will use those new 76 seaters from the Delta contract as a carrot to negotiate with Skywest corporation.

If the rumors are true about Comair, those 70-76 seaters will also be used as a carrot and get rid of extremely senior pilots and an entire management team. I hate to say this, but that is the only way Pinnacle will have more than 500 pilots in 2015
