I am sorry you feel that way. I wish I didn't have to take a pay cut.

Neat "airline pilot blog" too. If you ever have to match pinnacles offer, you should be able to supplement your income with your blogging skills. So you got that going for you....which is nice.

Wasn't your union able to stop this kind of atrocity? After all you have a contract, a legally binding document, and you pay 1.95% in representation dues. Oh what, a trip to bankruptcy can toss all that out? And what's this about a company agreeing to a concessionary contract with its pilot group and then not implementing reserve transparency within 4 months as required? The company can basically write to the group "**** you, we aren't really trying, and Flica is too expensive. We'll try and find a way, but don't hold your breath." But you have regional-ALPA and they won't allow that kinda thing.

The anger is misplaced. Remember, an association takes your dues to represent you. The day they stop representing you and your interests is the day that association needs to be voted out.

There's no anger I have a great life besides my job. I don't know you personally but have heard of you flying the line. you just can't let go of anything to do with pinnacle. Pinnacle, Mesaba, or Colgan pilots didn't ask for the merger or parking airplanes. I have flown with all three groups and they are good guys just trying to survive. Everytime I come on here you have a hard on for everything 9E. Why don't you enjoy your wife, the west coast, and VA. You keep trying to justify your career choices. I work at pinnacle and think the company blows but the guys I fly with are good guys just trying to get by. I'm sure 80KTS will come on here with the butt hurt form. you need to step away from APC and try to enjoy life without constantly telling us how 9E is the worst regional.

Ur welcome. Btw big game bob needs to be fired.

I pointed to ALPA's hypocrisy, their lack of 'one level' representation.

You keep trying to justify your career choices.
Anything is better than 9E today. Hundreds have already left and no one needs to justify leaving 9E. I have nothing to justify.
