You ever think that Delta boxed themselves into a corner. Or like a drug addict they became addicted. But not to drugs but cheap cheap labor.

Regional airlines have a life cycle. It would appear that delta is quite educated about what makes a regional airline work.
In order for a regional airline to attract pilots they need one or two things. A quick upgrade and or new shiny bigger jets. The growth at pinnacle/comair/republic/skywest/psa/piedmont... has all stopped. The pay is crap for f/o's. Captains is still livable but far below that of the MD-80 pay.
So what is Delta to do? They love and i mean love cheap labor.
So start a new line of regional airlines. Compass and Go Jerks.

But very much like Comair. Pinnacle is going to be more expensive that Delta wants. Today they say that the current concessions are enough. But what about tomorrow? Delta will come out with some big lie about some surprise cost that wasn't known and close Pinnacle then give the airplanes to Silver airlines. Go Jerks will grow. People there will be happy for 10-15 years till it's their time to be put on the chopping block.

I guess my blabbering is leading to this. It doesn't matter what you vote at Pinnacle. Your days are numbered. If they are not then get that in writing.
No security = no vote.
