Wish it didn't happen for either side. I hope u have a great day mr Buttr!
You make a good point. You lost your base, your airplane, heck even you airline, but yet not only are you still employed, you are a captain. I was simply disagreeing with a longevity transition and gave a real life example of why it wouldn't work. Absolutely zero pity will or has been felt for your loss of base or airplane. You actually got a pay raise when you lost your base and your airplane. The sad part about Pinnacle parking 200's is that once again, the Colgan captains will still have a job. Meanwhile Pinnacle AND Mesaba FO's have zero future here. What we are going through at Pinnacle is the exact reason longevity transition would never work and every other airline knows it.
PS. Jamers, sorry if I made it personal. I still have triggers for this kind of stuff.
