Well then what's ur specific reason for not being a frequent poster in the Mesaba threads? We have all the same bases, so if your eggs are not all in the 9E basket, then why aren't you equally as frequent of a poster in the mesaba threads???

If it's not printed on Pinnacle letterhead, not a phone call from HR, not a union communication, or if it isn't on PNCL: Summary for Pinnacle Airlines Corp. - Yahoo! Finance news section then it's purely speculation. This isn't the first time someone has started the "interview pool will be flushed" rumor. It's nothing to get riled up over until you hear it from Pinnacle. Not long ago someone started a "We're going to fly Embraer 190s for Fedex" rumor. It's garbarge and unfortunately mediums like this just exasberate the problem. If someone makes a claim here without referencing one of the sources listed above then it's not fact.

There's nothing to be offended about. Sorry for the false assumption.

There is a company conference call for pilots / flight attendants today. We'll see if anything of value comes out of that. I'm expecting nothing more than the usual fear mongering.

I don't want to start a huge fight here, but if I were 3Greens, I would certainly not post his other opportunities here. I am an FO here at 9E and I have opportunities that I am pursuing as well. These are far away from the airline world. Still flying, but outside of this H**L that is airlines.

I do not believe that I have read anywhere that his other options are at airlines, so maybe 9E is the one airline where he got his name into a pool before the industry took a ******. I would want info as to the current conditions at the company as well.

3Greens and everyone else interested. There is no new info from negotiations. We got the standard letter after the first two days saying that no progress has been made and have not heard anything since. Maybe no news is good news, but I doubt it. If you have a chance to go somewhere that isn't here, I say take it. If it isn't where you ultimately want to end up, take it anyway. Experience is experience and doing something other than instructing will certainly help you chase your dream eventually.


Good Luck

ahhhh... because I'm not in the pool at mesaba.!! So why would I be following and posting in their threads?? Doesn't make much sense to me..

and when I finally got a chance with them, everything changed. they stopped hiring, canceled classes etc.

I guess that answers it.. and was quite easy. Simple question with a more simple answer..

And wow.. this thread has gone from talking about Pinnacle to talking about me... its kinda cool

oh well..I'm glad I have some beer stacked up in the fridge.. enjoying the day off.. *cheers*

and again Noseeums, I'm not offended by any means and don't worry about the false assumption. You dont need to be sorry, as long as we cleared up the misunderstanding..

SrfNFly227, I couldn't agree with you more. I don't think posting other opportunities on a public forum is necessary.. but appreciate the updates regarding the negotiations.

Per one of the VP's - we need to "address our critical financial situation". From an investors standpoint, I'm just trying to figure out how bad things are since the revenue from Delta is basically the same every month.

Up coming company debt must be what they are eluding too. The CFO kind of glossed over it during the last quarterly call.

PinnacleFO

Their 2008 annual report is due soon, thats where they can't lie, notice how they havent said anything about that yet

1/30/09. No TA. I have my info from a face to face from one of the guys at the table but will leave things as that until the mec issues an email. O the road towards impasse...

I think we all saw that one coming. Glad my strike fund is well funded. Pavement pounding, here we come!!! I see a picket line in our not so distant future.

I see the unemployment line in the not so distant future... it will no doubt be us who pay for managements financial follys (sp?). But good news will be that colgan will be hiring to staff thier new Q's... wait, this smells familiar.

When is the earliest we can expect and impass? What follows? immediate strike or 30 day cooling off? I dont remember . . .
