God forbid I hear some puke like you talk crap about me and whinning about downgrade. I won't think twice about knocking the life out of you or any douchebag pinnacle legacy captain. I'm sure you can figure out who I am if you feel you want to sac up and try to walk the walk instead of run your mouth. I welcome any PNCL puke that thinks they are better than alll Colgan or Mesaba pilots. I have flown with plenty of 4 and 5 year FO's that I had to babysit. How dare you talk crap toward someone who's been or is getting downgraded!
Correct me if I'm wrong but the most senior Colgan downgrade was hired Sept 2007. Legacy 9E CAs hired in 2007 have all been downgraded and now the most junior legacy 9E CA is a 2006 DOH. Even 2006 DOH guys (like higney85) are getting downgraded on this one. At least you had a left seat after Colgan was all gone so that must count for something. Other 9E pilots hired in 2007 haven't touched a single hour of TPIC time and I hear some of these 6-7 year FOs have houses and kids too. More importantly you have the TPIC time that many other 9E pilots don't have and they were hired before you. You're more likely to end up at a legacy before they do. Anyway, I feel bad for any person downgrading and it's an unfortunate position to be in. Physically threatening someone's well-being is uncalled for IMO.
