I have no doubt that the majority of pilots at Pinnacle could have a new flying job within 4 months. I realize all pay longevity would be lost but lets put things in proper perspective here, Pinnacle is not a good company, no one should feel fortunate to be working for Pinnacle. I understand in this market maybe some people might feel lucky to be steadily employed but are there people here that really feel fortunate to be employed by Pinnacle?

Please someone tell me what we are trying to save here? Unlike United and American there are no pensions, unlike United and American most of us are not here for a life long career and trying to save what is (or was in these two examples) a great company. We are just trying to save our own jobs, some of the worst in the industry? Jobs that the majority of us are trying to leave as quickly as possible? And ultimately we are going to probably get furloughed anyway and end up at the next regional that will only pay us less due to the downward pressure our 5% pay cut has exerted on the industry? No thanks.
