HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE HAPPY HERE, SO GO FIGURE?
That is also why Pinnacle will get a pilot contract and it will be a good one. Over the past year and a half i haven't flown with one captain who would have voted yes to managements last, best, and final offer. The pinnacle pilot group is united and we aren't going to rollover anymore. I think management is finally seeing that we are serious. our group is united, and i will say one of the best pilot groups i have seen. (and yes i do have someone else to compare them to!)
