Many will vote no on the contract if they tie the Q rate to the CR2 rate. Find it insulting.
I just want to be able to invest in my life and maybe go on an occasional vacation. Can't do it on my current rates.
While the pay might be insulting to the Q people... the upgrades that Pinnacle/Mesaba (jet side) will see will vote this contract in.
I do agree its not very fair... the company made it clear the props will not get as much as the jets.
From what I hear the 9E and XJ people will vote this in... and enough Colgan folks will vote yes to make it happen.
All I've heard is hearsay...
