Anyone who took a regional airline job contributed to the downward spiral. This includes myself. What makes this TA a hit topic is the effect it will have on other regionals. Will the yes vote help other regionals? Probably not. Not only will it hurt pay negotiations, it will seal the deal on the Delta's 900 fleet plans. Shutting the bankrupt Pinnacle down only helps those on the outside looking in. I appreciate all those legitimately concerned about our future, this is not an easy decision.
