In reality, Pinnacle would have to lower their hiring minimums and also their Captain minimums so they could properly staff it. Or maybe just more pay and better work rules would attract some pilots???
What is it like 2 a/c per month? Anyway, I really don't care about the 900s, as long as I get to keep flying. Mesaba can have them, I do know of some guys who are really ****ed off about it though. And about the abuse you wrote about on a different thread, like I said before, it is a regional and I didn't come here to retire. All of my friends at other regionals complain about the same stuff. Just look at all the talk on this site, everyone complaining about something. I don't think I have ever read a post that praised their regional as being the best place to work. By the way, who do you fly for?
