Truth is, you sold your souls years ago for the growth that was going to go to Mesaba...but hey, at least now you are standing up for yourselves....after you got the growth you wanted...
wasn't here at the time. infact, i would say that 10 percent or less of the people that voted for that contract are still here today. everyone regrets it, and we obviously wont be burned twice. it is a different time, and a different place.
after reading some of your post it looks like you work for pinnacle, is that right? if not who do you work for?

Nobody at Pinnacle "sold their souls" for that growth.
this is all a correct statement.
