ShyGuy I really was hoping to bury the hatchet with you. You just can't accept the fact that our seniority progressed faster than yours. Job security for pilots is based on WHERE YOU ARE ON THE LIST. Not how many years you have invested at your company. Many guys at airlines a lot better than yours have been furloughed after 15 years or more of service. Way more than your piddly 3 1/2 years or whatever time you think you have invested scrubbing toilets at pinnacle before you got hired as a PILOT.

The fact is is that we have progressed up our seniority list and have attained a certain level of job security that we DON'T DESERVE to loose by being integrated into a joint seniority list.

If you didn't like the way your seniority was moving along you should have left. I don't care how many years you have invested. You always had the chance to leave. You chose to stay and it's killing you that you made the wrong move and you expect other people to pay for your career decisions that didn't work out the way you planned.

And save your breath. We know that our seniority progression was because of the Q400 that were purchased off the backs of the hardworking Pinnacle pilots (and of course you hard work scrubbing toilets before you were a pilot at Pinnacle). And I won't ever forget it.

In this case it just worked out in our favor. Talk to anyone who's been in this business for a long time and successful at it. They will all tell you that something just worked out in their favor. Just a matter of luck and not necessarily what was "right or fair".

Somedays your the windshield some days your the bug!

I'll save you more typing too. I work for a "sorry excuse for an airline". As opposed to your diamond elite regional carrier that's one step ahead of us on the ladder of sucky airlines!
