what a coincidence, my captain and I were just discussing this today - wasn't it just a little while back that Pinnacle had really good performance numbers? We were wondering why you guys had gone that extra mile, because it's not like phil and buddy are ones to reward their pilots for good performance.... faaaaar from it, as you and I know too well.
I totally agree with you, I work for your sister bottomfeeder but at this point I'd rather have it burn down to the ground (along with other bottomfeeders) and would be quite happy to witness this firsthand. So why don't I just quit now? Well, if I did that there are thousands of other guys who would gladly take my spot, and that wouldn't help the matter of shutting buddy down. in actuality I think the possibility of pinnacle shutting down is low (not saying it can't happen, obviously), but with the numbers getting worse, the possibility of the mgmt giving in definitely gets greater. It's an absolute shame that phil and his buddies have been dragging you guys along for 5 years! I just wish more of you guys (and us too) were willing to stand up to mgmt even if it means the risk of shutting them down (and especially because of that risk). For guys not willing to do so because they are afraid of losing their jobs, wouldn't that be a scab-like mentality? I realize these types will always exist (willing to take abuse forever because they have bills to pay... don't we all?) but I hope they are outnumbered.
