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. once again if you have been so unhappy why are you still here?
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. Are you going straight to the top of your next job? Grow up (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. you have been at this "sinking ship" for 5 years and just now are figuring out what is going on why didn't you move on years ago?
It's time to put Pinnacle where it belongs, six feet under.
Also you have been 5 years so you sitting somewhere in the 1600-1800 range I would assume, you have a year maybe two IF you get furloughed. With the number of people leaving you never know what will happen.

How many XJ guys were "going" to get furloughed when they announced the Saabs were going away but never did?

This whole the sky if falling mentality is laughable you people are making assumptions about a TA only a handful of people have seen, if you haven't seen it shut up and wait 5 hours until someone post every detail about it on here.

Honestly if you are an automatic no vote just leave and find a different job already because you are doing no good here anyways.

And btw I am less than 5 years seniority so don't blow the lifer horn.
