It's like out last TA all over again, a management team is attempting to extract as much negotiationing capital as possible from things they plan on doing already.

In the end of the day it's a numbers game, when you get your time and when the next career door opens for you. A senior captain once told me we are always one bad CEO away from bankruptcy.
Every company has that 5% of pilots we all know should probably not be there, and that includes both DAL and PNCL.

Hope that doesn't sound too high-horsey, and I wish the best for all the pilots at PNCL and would love to see some new guys come in.
(And I could careless where they come from as long as they easy to work with and didn't pay for their job)
A lot of the Pinnacle pilots did pay for their jobs via the Gulfstream program.
