Personally I think we should put 777, 380, 747, 787, etc rates in our contract. Why not? There's no way we will ever get them is there? Just like you have no intention of getting 76 seat aircraft. I wonder if delta management would hold it over your heads at a regional airline is offering to fly a 777 for $100.
Here's the problem with your argument.
Pinnacle pilots current CRJ900 rates
20 yr CA $106
20 yr FO $45
1 yr FO $26
Current Delta CRJ900 rates
12 yr CA $121
12 yr FO $82
1 yr FO $60
So Delta rates already smoke Pinnacle rates. And your companies BK was NOT caused by Delta pilots. It was caused by your companies management. Delta pilots were hosed by management during their BK too. That's why your company has those shiny CRJ900's. So instead of kicking and screaming & throwing out threats, man up and place the blame where it belongs....Pinnacle management. What is happening to Pinnacle employees sucks. But it's not anyone's fault except 9e management.
