We grey haired regional pilots have a tough row to hoe. Please tip your hat to us, and wish us well... because G@d knows we need it.
Totally understandable... an airline pulling a Comair is no fun for anyone. That and replacing smaller aircraft with larger scale aircraft does not equal a direct correlation on jobs.
This is why I've recommended to all my friends that are still at Pinnacle to run away.. run far far away, no matter where they are at in the airline.
