I would have to agree with Mesabah. We had 300+ depart during the scamruptcy. And it was rather obvious that the crap going on then was temporary and Avro replacements would be arriving soon after the process was completed. This time around there is no recovery on the horizion.
The commutes are becoming near impossible already and add numerous people having to go to outstation bases that Colgan has or numerous more people trying to get to ATL on soon to be much worse travel benefits, yea many of us will not stick around. I have the resumes ready.
I would stay in DTW on a 50 seater or Q400 but you can forget me trying to commute to any Colgan base. And ATL, SLC, and MEM are nearly impossible from DTW. I couldn't commute anywhere on reserve under Pinnacle reserve rules and treatment so unless I can stay in DTW I will one way or another not be on reserve anymore. I am not the only one in this situation. Nor the only one looking to leave now.
