Resist that knee jerk reaction that we are complaining about flying and see the point of the complaints.
Here's a little negotiating strategy. When you end the streak of being the number one on time regional and performance suffers because Pinnacle pilot's have stopped coming on the boards recommending jobs and start telling their "brothers and sisters" to stop applying because the pay and workrules suck that will give management motivation to get a contract signed. You didn't so now the next chance is in April. For the time being maybe it would be better for your brothers and sisters work at Costco driving the forklift instead of flying jets around for 4 days at a time bringing in 300 bucks. Pinnacle is a horrible company stop spreading the plague. Every time Mesa, I mean Pinnacle gets a 900 they are replacing mainline jobs or at least higher paying regional jobs.
