​​​​​Mesaba fixed most of this for them when pinnacle "bought" mesaba. Keep in mind, he did all that crap and pinnacle would sometimes just not post their paycheck for a few days. They'd still show up to work, and pretend everything was fine, but apparently no one who worked there cared. Pinnacle didnt pay the mesaba guys once, just once, and we got the feds involved.
