And why don't YOU (mregan) give THEM (Colgan and Pinnacle) a chance to bring it to the next level with their TAs and such???
A TA does not a contract make (if you don't understand how things work)!
The pilots of Pinnacle will decide their fate now and until they do maybe you should cut them slack as they work to raise it to the next level. They may just stand together and tell their MEC we aren't taking this contract.
The same goes for Colgan. They are starting the process. They realize the terrible working conditions and wages they have been working under for years. That's why they are trying to improve conditions and voted in ALPA.
So give it a rest already. It's not like your contract put you guys at the top of the heap either.
