I am not a naysayer, but in hindsight what is happening now with the SLI should have been predictable. Knowing what I know now, I would have NEVER have supported a single-list contract, taken my chances with doing our own negotiations and if PNCL Corp decided to do any whipsawing it would have been better to deal with it IF that ever occurred. I really am very disappointed in the way this entire merger/SLI has been handled by ALPA. Yes, I have a payraise, an increase in per diem, etc...But, I don't think it would have been too long before we'd have had the same contract or something close to it. PNCL Corp. knows that the future of the company is NOT vested on the large, uneconomical and aging CRJ-200 fleet, but on the Q-400 and CRJ-900. That is why they bought Colgan and Mesaba. I really don't feel any animosity toward anyone that flies at Pinnacle. If circumstances were different, I likely could be there now myself. However, from a Colgan pilot point of view...Pinnacle's MEC is being greedy, self-serving and not looking out for the future of ALL the pilots of ALL three companies.
