New Pinnacle Pass program

Parents have to use ZEd fares
No Buddy Passes
No registered travel companions
For the first time in my 5 year career, I am thinking about a career change.

I know that feeling. I reached my lowest low this year. I had to apply for section 8 housing. I am so embarrased to walk through my new apartment complex with my uniform on...

i am just glad this came out before we had signed a contract. ANY contract that is put before me better have the same flight benefits that the other dci carriers get or it will get a no vote from me.

See that is the point. They are going to make this program uniform among all wholly-owned and non-wholly owned carriers. What it does is makes a regional job just a bit more cruddy so people WILL NOT make it a career.
It is all part of their plan. They want to reduce costs, and KNOW it is next to impossible to get concessions out of any labor group!

And dont forget we lose boarding priority. All of the "wholly owned" will travel on a higher priority than us. Life just got a whole lot harder for all of our commuters.

It's amazing that airplanes just break at outstations isn't it?

Don't forget that it includes our airplanes as well. You, an employee of Pinnacle, may very well be bumped off of Pinnacle airplane by a Delta ramper or a pilot from another carrier.
