As far as blaming the pilot group. I know Pinnacle's pilot group is fighting to get things better but there is only so much we can do. We need to strike but some bull *** law says we cant. Our management totally controls us. Hell they don't even listen to the lawyers, they just do what they want. We just need to walk period. I would love to send a letter to all of the pilots saying on a certain day we are all sick or fatigued. Now that would get managements attention

Labor unions have gotten beaten down the past few years..............you can blame Bush for that as well
