Pinnacle Copy of Arbitration
 

Hey I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the arbitration ruling in favor of the pilot group? I would really appreciate a copy of it.

Which one are you talking about? The scope grievance or vacation slides? We won BOTH!

I would assume you're talking about the vacation slides?

Being the he is a Saab FO I would assume that it is the scope grievance against Colgan he is interested in. But then again assumptions are the mother of all.... well you know the rest.

I would be interested to se an article on this if anybody has.

Yes I do work for Colgan and yes I'm interested in the arbitration not the vacation. Reason, we just got an e-mail from Mngt that the arbitrator had no ruling on Pinnacle, Inc. Just would like to get an actual copy of the arbitration so I can read it. Also we are all interested as we do want an union this August, at least the atmosphere here in IAH. I didn't get to vote last years as I was a new hire and I'm trying to take as much part into this as I can since I think it will benefit all of us to have a stronger pilot group, specially if we get merged, and no worries I'm happy in Saab land along with most. If you can PM the file or PM me and I'll give you an e-mail.

thanks

i will see if i can get it for you. the company is saying that there was no rulling on pinnacle inc but on pinnacle corp. they are trying to get the alter ego thing going but the arbitrator didn't buy it.

Its a shame what those Pinnacle guys are trying to do to you Colgan guys. Best of luck to all the pilots there, I know alot of good people there and I wish them the best.

I know it's such a shame that those Colgan guys are flying 70-seaters in Newark for 80% of what we get paid to fly 50-seaters

I'm at Colgan, and by Pinnacle guys, I'm assuming you mean the, and I'll use this term loosely," management" ones screwing the pooch.
