I have been with 9E for 5 years and stay pretty current with what's going on internally and on these message boards. The fact is, I don't need to see the language. It's "no" vote for me.
Pinnacle has screwed over the pilot group time and time again because of poor management decisions. This time I won't let them get away with it.
Career progression to Delta? What does that mean? Even if it is preferential hiring or flow, I wouldn't see employment at Delta for probably 10 years based on my seniority. I'd be furloughed first, then have to work my way all the way back to the top. (There is probably going to be some language like Compass has, i.e., not more than 25% of the pilot group can flow/interview per year.)
150 pilots furloughed in 2013? Ok fine, what about 2014 when they fix their training bubble and the 200's really start going away? Funny they didn't mention anything about that.
And who really cares about furlough pay/protections, particularly if you're an F/O? You're an F/O at a regional! Go work someplace else and work toward making captain for that all important PIC time. Sitting on your @ss at home is doing nothing for your long term career progression.
It's time to put Pinnacle where it belongs, six feet under.
