I try so hard to accomplish our goals and yet sometimes I fear that we're looking out for ourselves more than we're looking out for our company. We lose the fact that in most cases work is over half of our lives. So we should committ ourselves as much as we can to our work so we can enrich our lives as well.
When you fight against our company you are fighting against making yourself a better person. You fight against everyone in this company that is trying to help you. You fight against all the passengers who rely on our airline to see loved ones and accomplish their own goals.
Ops is not "out to get you." It's not us vs. them. We're in this together and we rely so much on one another.
If we notice any shortcomings, we much use our strengths to fill those gaps. That's why we work here. This is not a stepping stone; it's an avenue to build experience and character.
We became pilots because we love to fly. What happened to that?
If you don't believe in this company, stop hurting those that do--- LEAVE!!

Pinnacle is absolutely a stepping stone. In fact C. Seal came in to my new hire class and said exactly that. They do not want us here for a long period of time. They would rather be paying 3rd year captain rates than 10 year captain rates. Straight from Mr. Seal's mouth "we want you to get your quick upgrade, build your time and move on". There are 10 other people from my new hire class that also heard this and will verify.
Our contract negotiations and the current atmosphere at this company is US (pilots) VS. Management. There is NO TEAM concept here. If there was a TEAM concept, you would see the company working WITH the pilot group, not AGAINST it. Case in point...... the impending displacement. The company is not doing one friggin thing to mitigate the situation!! Not one darn thing!! LOA's...NOPE...min value lines...NOPE....Dual Quailing the CA's....NOPE....Nothing. The company does not care about anything except the bottom line of an expense report. All they see is $$$, they don't care one bit about the human side of the equation. If they did, maby we would see more of a TEAM effort, but until then, its Us Vs. Them.

[quote=3greens;529135]Has Pinnacle received all of its remaining 5 900's from Bombardier yet or just received a couple of them? Do they all go in service together this month along with the other 2 they received prior to receiving the freedom airplanes?
Flew 195PQ and 200PQ yesterday (195PQ delivered 2 weeks ago and 200PQ delivered last week. So I know we have gotten 2 of them and are flying them.

Unfortunately the RLA comes into effect and the requirements for a legal strike prevent us from doing it on the fly as you have so eloquently challenged us to do! We (9E pilots) have already "grabbed our collective balls" and voted 99% to strike! We are not going to settle for a contract, we are demanding a fare contract that will hopefully benefit other pilot groups as well when it is their time to negotiate a contract! Everyone vents .....deal with it!

I love people who post stuff like this. I would bet good money that this is the same kind of person that when his company furloughs he is the one complaining that he is not getting his 89 hour line (if the pilots get reduced lines) or he is the first in line to pick up open time claiming HE has bills to pay. Whatever regional you work for there are people ****ed about the way they are treated. If you are so big on walking out LEAD THE WAY.
