This whole post is quite troubling but I just quoted one part from it. Do you really think that Pinnacle management expected Mesaba pilots to NOT be looking for more than the current contract? Mesaba's contract was/is up for negotiation soon anyways. I don't think anyone is going to give a yes vote to keep going with the current concessionary/bankruptcy contract for another 5 years. This is the chance to bring EVERYONE up, not just Pinnacle and Colgan.
We are all more valuable than you think. I am hoping we are all in for a nice suprise. The Pinnacle world is a different world now that they are looking to merge everything and the Pinnacle and Colgan pilot groups now have A LOT more leverage - leverage is something you didn't really have before this. Now you do.
