As far as our contract negotiations go, I respect your optimism that i once had, but I gaurantee you that friday you will read an update that says no progress was made and there are no further dates scheduled.
Well, I couldn't possibly be more upset with the Pinnacle MEC. I've just heard that they plan on filing a lawsuit over the q400 purchase, right while Colgan's in the middle of a union drive. Nice f'n move! We're out bustin' our humps sellin' the pilot group on the advantages of ALPA and how if we join together with the pinnacle ALPA we'll all be protected from a potential whipsaw and what does pinnacle ALPA do? Start a f'n whipsaw! How do you expect Colgan guys to vote in a group to represent them that is attacking them?
Don't you think it would make MUCH more sense to give Colgan the chance to organize. Then if we didn't vote in the union, then you can file suit? Instead, you're gonna alienate the Colgan pilot group, cause them to vote against ALPA, and then have PT smiling his way to the bank with a perfect whipsaw in place as one group fights against the other.
This is just the dumbest, most ill-timed B F'n S I've ever seen!
