As for Meesq, he is lucky for D/N ALPA. Without D/N ALPA, Pinnacle woud have never existed in the first place. What this Meesq seems to forget is that shiny RJ he flies was a direct job transfered to him from a mainline pilot that got furloughed.
Meesq never paid his dues, he just was lucky enough to get hired a lowbidding and growing airline like Pinnacle, while his Mainline counterparts were getting sacked.

Mainline pilots got furloughed so you can fly a shiny jet for substandard wages, never forget that.

You can place the blame where you want however you hit the nail right on the head, without Delta/NW there never would have been a Pinnacle in the first place. Pinnacle pilots would have gone straight to Delta/NW or other career carries and this mess would have never happened. It is what it is now and it would be nice if ALPA could come up to some solution to the race to the bottom. What kind of backwards world do we live in where experience in the cockpit is a liability?
