It's actually kind of sad reading these Pinnacle pilots desperately try to rationalize working for 9E. JetBlast was right on the money saying people who go to places like Pinnacle and Colgan are contributing to the downfall of the industry. No regional airline is fantastic--not mine or even JB's--but there are those who are the reason the rest of us can't get better work rules and compensation. I have no sympathy for someone who knowingly went to a company where you have to "check-out" as a line holder. What a joke.
