You're in section 6, we're not. You're going to vote on a new contract, we're going to vote on a bankruptcy contract. The two should be completely separate. Your contract is to improve working conditions, ours is to save (supposedly) the company. If your negotiators are worth anything when your management comes to you and says but Pinnacle has this they should laugh and say they are in bankruptcy, it's completely different. I haven't determined which way I'm going to vote (I'm a 5th year FO) but I sure as heck am not going to vote based on how it will affect other regionals. I could care less how it will affect SkyWest, ASA/Expressjet. I have no intention of ever going to another regional, I'm going to vote on my personal financial situation.

You posters at other regionals want us to go away so you can get our planes, you don't give a thought to what we are going through so why should we care about how this will affect you and it's effect throughout the regional industry. I'm not starting over and I'm sure many of my coworkers are not starting over so I really could care less. If you want to support us then offer us jobs with our longevity, otherwise shut up, I'll take my $37/hr over $22/ hr first year followed by 30 followed by 34 and then 37. 2-3 years is a long time in this industry and ill take my chances.
