true, but you will get captain pay and you will get pic so you can move on. no one comes to pinnacle to be a street captain for good qol. that is just stupid.

latest news is the planes are not going to be moved to mesaba, because mesaba said they didn't want them. like i have said before those planes will stay at pinnacle (we don't want them either). but its better for us to have them and not fly them and pay penalties, than it is for them to go back to mainline (mesaba) and not staff them there.

GO MESABA!!
I'm lovin' life (and no comuting)
yeah, i once had a entire month off... by being bought out for oe.. big deal. when you say stuff like this it gives a false sense of what is really going on. i have 17 days off this month, been here for a little under 2 years, and that is my line, no oe buy off. just be honest and dont give people an inaccurate description of what their lines could be if they went to mesaba.
