Never seen one at RAH...who knows how long that'll last though.

The alternative to the CDO is the 30 hour layover. I would rather have the CDO.

I wouldn't even compare Pinnacle to GoJets. We didn't cross any picket lines to get a job. Pay isn't the best, but the pilot the group of people working at Pinnacle are great.

GoJet pilots never crossed a picket line...

...although I don't doubt most would, if given the opportunity.

GoJet is in its own special class in terms of environment and reputation...I don't think any regional airline compares to them.
