I sure hope so, because I thought about leaving my sinking ship regional and make the jump to Pinnacle. I've already gotten an interview invite but I turned it down after reading through the PNCL contract (if you can even call it that). $20.47/hr to start, no major pay increase after several years, 10 days off, reducible to 8, worst reserve rules I've ever seen, and the list goes on.
Good Luck and I hope you guys can (finally) maybe get a good contract together.

Doing nothing, Colgan will have the Mesaba contract. Management knew that when they bought Mesaba, so it is up to US to demand MORE!
It ain't gonna be easy, but I will NOT vote for anything less than the best of Pinnacle and Mesaba PLUS! Pinnacle CORP has the biggest turbo prop fleet (twice as many as Horizon). Not to ignore the jets, but props are THE MOST EFFICIENT at puddle jumping. There is NO other regional that has the prop capacity to replace us. For ONCE, we prop guys have the trump cards. We on the prop side can and must stand firm and force a GOOD contract... FOR ALL AIRCRAFT! If we don't, then I never want to hear any b!tching about work rules, pay, or scheduling: we hold our destiny.

If you were JFK based at Comair, you were given a 120 min call out while on reserve. Any chance that this will happen with Pinnacle as they open their base in the next 2 weeks?
Anyone else interviewing next Thursday?

Current callout in JFK is 120 mins. Everywhere else is still 90 mins.
