Except for the fact it has been proven time and again that the Pinnacle management group have not and will not bargain in good faith. It's just that the Mesaba and Colgan negotioating teams refuse to acknowledge it. I don't enjoy burying my head in the sand. Hard to breathe down there. This is all about the Pinnacle pilot group, they've been dealing with these idiots for years. We have only been dealing with them for a few years or a few months respectively.

You know what they say about those who fail to learn from history. It only took one missed deadline to confirm what I suspected all along. How long are all three pilot groups going to continue to suffer until the rest of the negotiating team gets it? I'd love to see a JCBA finished in a week. I think the chance of that happening is the same as getting hired as a street captain on the MD11 at FedEx. IOW, it's not going to happen.
