i wasn't bragging about the completion factor. i was countering the statement that delta and nwa are mad at us for our poor performance, when the exact opposite is true. not much i can do from the right seat anyway as far as getting out on time. i come to work, do my thing and go home. i go to the picket events, rallies, and i am willing to walk as soon as we are able to.

i want pinnacle to succeed. i want the company to do good. with all the ata, skyway, regiants, and others coming here and starting all over after they lost their jobs i see how hard that is on the pilot and their family. i will do what i am supposed to but not a thing more. if pinnacle cant succeed then it wont be the pilots fault. it will be managements ineptness that will do us in.

our new hire classes have nearly 0 low time guys. we have the pick of the litter of high time captains from other airlines. and we still have vacancies going unfilled. in the last vacancy there was a mem captain spot that no one bid for.
