Unfortunately, you are exactly right.

This joke of a company actually wanted concessions....freakin CONCESSIONS from us. Gimme a break!! I'm about to give up all hope. Our union stinks, and our pilot group doesn't even have the backbone of a jellyfish!!!

What a joke. I can't believe what I just read. I'm not very optimistic about the nmb but I guess we will have to wait and see what they say. Hopefully they will see that mgmt is full of $.it.

Oh and remember not to call in sick we can't have anymore unplanned absences. Speaking of that, I noticed on the dashboard today we had around 22 flights cancel. One of the flights that cancelled reason was because of the fo and the notes said he was legal to go but spent to much time arguing....

What a bunch if bs...

I think at this point it would be very convenient if Pinnacle and TSA were released at the same time. I am quite sure the NMB would never let that happen, but it seems like that would bolster our position even more. Best of luck to the Pinnacle guys going forward.

Our mgmt team is very agile and creative when it comes to financial decisions. Gotta say they're pretty good there (yes, I know about the ARS fiasco, but they maneuvered through it pretty well all things considered). BUT they are atrocious in managing their people...I'm afraid they're gonna end up burning it down from the inside out. The flames are already there and this just seemed to toss a little diesel on it. Why further alienate your pilot group?! They had to know there was no way we'd sign double digit % concessions. CLEARLY a stall tactic. They were too afraid we might sign something a little craptastic, so they swung for the fences! and in the process furthur alienated an angry workforce.
