Bar, it's my opinion that your over thinking this one. Pinnacle was in deep doo doo. They were run by morons. They were in bankruptcy. Delta found a way to control them. Delta found a really cheap way to buy them, insert delta management and be the lowest cost regional. This will allow them to negotiate lower rates with the likes of Skywest and the rest of the regionals. Smart move to lower costs. Cheaper regional feed means more money left over to line our mainline pockets.

DL agreed to a guaranteed interview program with Compass last year for non flow eligible pilots, such as myself. It however didn't have any monthly quotas like the one signed with Pinnacle, at least none that were mentioned in the company memo. I don't think this was an ALPA agreement either.

I'm sure those guys would have a tough time remembering how to tag a youtoobz video on a bulletin board. I remember the first time I heard Pink Floyd, I was in the 7th grade. As soon as I could get my mom to take me to the music store, I bought a Pink Floyd CD. His tone.... just amazing.

Is it the proper role of a union to leverage outsourcing ? If so, who's job gets outsourced and how do we decide while affording all members equal representation ? After we sell our flying, then what?
The bottom line of my rant is that we seriously undermined our own bargaining position and there wasn't a peep from anyone.

Pandora's box of regional operators has been opened. So how are we to contain the size of regionals?

You and me with our 33 RPM record albums are so ancient we belong in a museum.
Even Clamp is a veritable old timer if he actually bought music on CDs.
Nowadays he would be considered just another brick in the wall.
I miss my old vinyl, but I gotta admit - The kids these days have found a better way.
Having 1000 MP3s in my pocket is way cool.

NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the wrong mentality. Cheaper regional feed means more downward pressure on us. Why is this so hard to understand?
