I can't even blame Bloch for this.

Our Merger Committee messed this up so badly, the repercussions of the failure and stupidity of our committee will last for years. Pinnacle pilots who had expectations to obtain upgrades that were coming because we were so understaffed are seeing both XJ and 9L take almost everything.

Don’t forget XJ and 9L are losing flying and are pillaging our captain positions and senior FO positions. Guys who would have been furloughed at XJ are now captains or senior FOs.

The 9E Merger Committee went for the win and lost the opportunities our pilots brought to this merger.

Bloch only ruled on what he was given. Our guys gave him a big pile of dung and we ended up with even less than we started.
