Hallelujah!!!!
Liquidate the place folks! There ain't nothing for any single one of us to gain by Pinnacle (i mean Mesaba) staying afloat. Burn it, liquidate it, and come back later when its more decent of a work place.
Set an example, and the rest will follow!
108 isn't 87% of the pilot group. It's probably those on the bottom of the seniority list who are getting furloughed and won't have a job regardless. The pilots will NEVER shut this place down. Too many people with excuses, i.e. "My spouse makes the money", or "I'm a trust fund baby and don't need the paycheck", or "I can afford a paycut, I'm still living with my parents", etc, etc, etc...
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of hard workers and great people in this company/industry...but for those reasons I've listed above (and many more), there will never be true solidarity within a company, let alone the industry. It's what keeps two-bit, Micky Mouse operations like Pinnacle afloat.
