I will say it again like i have said before. I enjoy working at pinnacle. I am happy here. I have 15 days off in april, and will fly about 95 hours. Of course there are some things i don't like and some things i do. It is the same at every other airline. One persons trash is another persons treasure. I have friends at skywest who love it there, i also have friends there who say their lives suck, i have friends at asa who liked it at first, but there are sick of getting boned by skywest. I have 1 friend at xjet and he likes it there (no one else to compare it to.) But according to saabrewski, he is as scared as anyone i know about the future of xjet. So all this talk about dont go somewhere and do go somewhere is everyones personal opinion. I would never go to skywest, or xjet. Dont think i would like it there as much as i do here. As far as nwa taking the planes back, that would be fine by me. Every line in april is above 90 hrs, so we are all getting enough work with out them.
So in conclusion do what you want to do. Everyone will have there personal opinions. The pinnacle bashing is unfounded, i am sure there are things we could bash every other airline about. What makes pinnacle different from almost EVErY OTHER REGIONAL OUT THERE IS WE WONT ACCEPT A SUBSTANDARD CONTRACT. some other airlines out there accepted lower contracts for the promise of new flying. stupid.... WE WONT LET THAT HAPPEN HERE... So show some respect for the pinnacle pilots, there are the only ones out there standing up to management and not accepting a BS contract.
and i know some will say "we only accepted it because the company was in bankruptcy and we had too. I can tell you right now that even if pinnacle went into bankruptcy, the pilots would just walk... no questions asked if we had to take a p!ss poor contract.
