Look, you're missing the point. Mesaba and Pinnacle are very different companies from top to bottom. From training, safety, infastructure, QOL, facilities and the list goes on. I realize we are regional airlines and are the step children of NWA and in that sense we are indeed the same. But being Mesaba and Pinnacle goes far deeper than what's painted on the side of our planes and whose turn it is to be at the whipping post.

I don't need you to tell me about what is going on and what has happened at Mesaba, nor do I need to prove to you that I really have been around the block at XJ. I wish you all the best of luck in your contract fight. I know how you feel, what its like and how I don't wish that crap on anyone.

BTW, how was it that you attended XJ F2F events when you've been at Pinnacle for 2.5 years? Just curious.
