Maybe you guys will finally decide to finally put the companies feet to the fire for your new contract.

Maybe I should cave in and vote yes to the company's 5% "raise" for me?? or just go totally against the RLA and stike on my own?

Maybe you, and about 10 other guys on here I can think of off the top of my head, need to stop basing your wealth of knowledge of other's airlines/efforts based on what 2 or 3 "company" people on an anonymous internet forum have to say or because you heard something from your sister's best friend's uncle's stepsister.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing

Would you guys at pinnacle feel the same way, if a delta conx carrier came in took some northwest flying....boasted poor performance....and got a second chance to not mess up?

That analogy is so ignorant and misinformed on a number of different levels that it really isn't even worth addressing. You must not know anything about anything.

I know it's been said before, but the "poor performance" is really debateable. DAL gave us some truly impossible schedules that couldn't be met with a space shuttle. Once we worked with Delta on the schedules and finally got a spare 900 online, we have had no problems with performance. In fact, as a whole, 9E had the second-highest on-time performance according to June DOT figures, second only to Hawaiian.

Paok,

You're taking years off your life!

To everyone,

In my short time in this industry, I know two things to be true:

1. We are pretty much all w - - - es.......

2. None of us have any control over any of this stuff!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm off to Vegas!

I emailed Pinnacles hr dep. yesterday and they said they hope to know more in a week or two about hiring, but it all stems on the delta contract. That was the response I got at 8am, so hopefully we could get a call soon!
