I wouldn't throw stones at Pinnacle, your union representatives are contemplating and listening to management's request for a B Scale. If Eagle allows a B Scale it will impact the industry more than what Pinnacle did.

Pinnacle had an 1113 filled against them, their Union reps turned down the company's proposal and went to the judge, it was found that the company was asking for things it didn't need. Then Delta stepped in and said you either accept this or we will liquidate you.

Eagle never had an 1113 filled against us, we took the first offer and the union spun it as a great accomplishment, they sold the idea of a furlough protection being as good as having a plan for the airline and 3 out 4 pilots who voted accepted the offer.

The Eagle pilot group is weak and haven't stood their ground. The union leadership and the members roll over every time.
