At Pinnacle, we do not have a pay rate for the 900 yet because we refused to accept sub standard wages. We do not have a contract yet because we refused to accept sub standard wages, work rules etc. We are willing to strike in order to achieve our goals. And FYI, many of the pilots whose commute would be made much easier by being based in ATL (900 flying) did not and will not bid that flying until we have an acceptable pay scale and/or contract.

We are trying our best to do our part to raise the bar. What we need in this industry at this critical time is more solidarity and less finger pointing / infighting.

Best,

Wolf
