In this flow however, even though i don't like the idea, i wish the best for pilots at both of the groups. A lot of compass pilots are furloughs from other airlines and they knew the risk of going there and they took the chance, i hope the best for them. As far as mesaba goes, even though a lot of mesaba pilots hate us, they are a good group, a safe group, and have had to sit there with those good qualities and watch other regionals grow in their hubs for a long time so i hope that this flow will minimize the affect of any potential furlough.
What? Where did you get that idea? There might be few trolls who say negative things about Pinnacle but most of us get along great with Pinnacle folks. Don't let the few bad apples skew your view of Mesaba pilot group. And thanks for your encouragement. Even though XJ keeps getting bad news lately, it's nothing surprising really. We all knew Saab days were coming to an end.
