CDO's, high speeds, standups, or whatever you call them exist at every regional airline. at pinnacle you do get a hotel, and you get 4hrs of credit (even if you don't fly that much). fo pay needs help but captain pay is pretty much the same as other regionals, and thats with our 5 year old contract. the environment isn't bad either. i live in base, bid 2 day trips, and will only be gone 8 nights this month. pinnacle is actually a good place to work. does it need help? yes. Do we need a new contract? yes. Am i willing to walk to get one? yes. I may like it here but not enough to sit back and not try to improve pay, work rules, qol, etc, etc. Just cause i like it here doesn't mean i don't want things to change.
