odd's though.. no one will, everyone will do the "right thing" and the abuse will continue.


I would do that. But you know as well as I do that the company would deny the expense request. Thus creating a huge dent in my wallet. And it would take months to get it settled. Pinch-a-nickel.

there are a handful of events where the expense was denied. more often than not the BM never sent it down to MEM or the flt op's clerk did not process it.

Some bases are more diligent on processing the paperwork, one, maybe two not so diligent.

The really sad thing, it takes one signature and maybe 1 minute on the computer to approve, then 3 minutes by the payroll clerk to process and cut the dang check. So, if it is delayed, whatever the BM is selling is pure BS, nothing less.

What could Pinnacle do with 16 900 if DAL took back the 200's????...not much...I don't think that there is a mainline company who would pick 9E up with the current economy.


we cost delta less to operate and we are on time more then any mainline or regional in the continental US, you are ignorant if you think they would take 200's from us, if we could somehow by the grace of god get a contract signed, we are going to get more flying, because we are the cheapest and most efficient regional operator they have

:rolleyes:

ok...tell m what all this actually does for YOU the Pinnacle pilot? What has DAL or those on director row in Nonconnah done for YOU?

cheapest and most efficient means loads to the management in the way of bonuses. What happens when you are no longer the cheapest OR the most efficient?

they've done nothing for ME the Pinnacle pilot except give me a job, pay my bills, and not put me on the street unlike most of the other regionals out there right now, and as far as the cheapest or efficient, we'll cross that bridge in 8 years when the service agreement comes up, till then, game on
