Just sayin! 100k isn't what it used to be, and to have to top out at that with our qualifications is selling yourself way short. While you argue over whether XJ has better workrules than this new contract, it's all crap compared to even the remnants of a concessionary contract at the big leagues. THAT is what it should be compared to and what should be strived for.
Everytime I pushed for increases I was told that we are a Regional not SWA. The Union told me they didn't leave a single cent on the table. I wanted a contract that made it so expensive for Delta they would just assume take the flying back. That is what every Regional pilot should push for, instead everyone was worried about losing there job if the contract was voted down. This industry is never going to move forward. Again I ask, what kind of career expectations do people have at Pinnacle? Only a select top few who got stuck here because of 9/11 should have expectations, my only expectation is to get the heck out of here in the next two years.
