CoATP said:Monday Pinnacle was supposed to park 15 200's and put 150 pilots out. Anybody know the story? When they will be interviewing and hiring again?

But aren't the street CA's hired wthin the last 9 months junior to the recent upgrades? I would think they're the ones to get displaced, not the ones upgrading now.redflyer65 said:28 CA displacements, but that will most likely cover those that are finishing upgrade training right now.

Yup, that would be the street captains getting hosed. Good news is with attrition the way it is, they'll be back in their seats by March unless management comes up with some new way of staffing (don't put it past them).logolight said:But aren't the street CA's hired wthin the last 9 months junior to the recent upgrades?

Lear70 said:kmox: Mesaba's plight making me happier about my lot in life? No way, I have a lot of friends over there who are looking at displacement from the CA seat or possibly worse. If anything it makes my outlook worse - this industry just plain sucks until you get somewhere that an employee is actually considered an ASSETT!

I have been sufficently brainwashed now and (in robotic tone): "I...believe...MAIR...is...a...seperate...entity...than...Mesaba Airlines...and...their...cash...is...not...ours.""Lear70 said:Only two to three months of operating capital saved - Mesaba had something like 5 months on hand (over $100 Million).
I thought our management was "The Man"! Are you telling me that there might be more than one "Man"!?! Jeezus...how many "Men" are there!!!Lear70 said:Your management seems to actually have its act together and is getting "screwed by The Man". Our management, on the other hand, can't run the operation correctly to begin with.
Well... that DOES explain a lot. :nuts:kmox29 said:Well, I am based in DTWimp:
Funny how they do stuff like that...I have been sufficently branwashed now and (in robotic tone): "I...believe...MAIR...is...a...seperate...entity...than...Mesaba Airlines...and...their...cash...is...not...ours.""
Enough to ensure that you will ALWAYS need some type of lube working in this profession.I thought our management was "The Man"! Are you telling me that there might be more than one "Man"!?! Jeezus...how many "Men" are there!!!![]()
Yes the rates are low. Almost as low as MAG. But it might surprise you that MAG's retirement contribution is much higher than PCL's. The result is that PCL has the lowest total compensation of any regional airline flying comparable equipment (CRJ or ERJ).Detroitpilot22 said:We already have one of the lowest pay rates.
