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.
True. It's like when we had those "99%" stickers in 2008 and yet were the #1 ontime performing regional every quarter.
Well said. The same Capts sitting around the table in the crew room in DTW talking about how their gonna take matters into their own hands if the contract BS doesn't stop are the same ones literally falling over themselves to get the door shut and out on time.
Pinnacle is a joke always has been always will.
