You guys just can't be happy...I've ran into alot of the Colgan guys flying out of DCA or BUF and I can say for the most part 9L has a good group of folk, but I'm genuwinely tired of you select few guys coming on here expecting more after what you've already been given. Truth be told you may not have gotten that 37% raise on average (that was presented in the roadshows) but I'm guessing you got some. Try being a DTW Saab guy, almost 80% of there base is going to be on reserve next month with the Saabs going away, not to mention alot of them are senior than me and making a lot less an hour, remember it could be worse. It's not just you guys any more, it's XJ and 9E too...something you'll have to realize. No one likes change, but it's coming. As far as to the way things are now and are going to be, I can tell you as someone under the Mesaba system for 4 years, you will notice a big change. If your complacent to think that won't happen, best of luck to you.

Then why call out Mesaba? why say ...Obviously that wasn't your
whole intent...We know how PBS works (your getting it at 9L), we know displacements are coming, this will undoubtedly change your QOL...so what don't we know?

If your willing to make statements like that, you need to be willing to take some heat for it...I hope you get your change I really do...hopefully it's not for the worse...we are all in the same boat
