The only thing good about the Pinnacle contract is the health insurance, thats it. I pay around (140.00) a month for my wife and three kids. The vacation slide is a bonus too, but I would be more than willing to give that up for XJ's contract.

+1 to this.
Cherry pick the contract items, so what contract provision does colgan have that anyone wants? Free Lube?

hahahahaha

I've never got the lube? Maybe I will have to remind them when I see a 903 number on my phone.

And tell them not to get the KY his and hers cause; as qouted by a certain captain "Its really too slippery"

Good! Maybe he can fix our pass benefits like we had before the merger!
Mesaba will soon be under our pass program according to the "Q&A" that's out..."...will be considered an independent airline and will lose (same things 9E lost during the merger)..."
Been an interesting day for everyone!

+1 on health insurance.

Anyone get the 2nd email on the union conference call (Mesaba)? When you do, can you please post the information?

Thanks!

Pinnacle will need to go to Saab and negotiate new leases on the B+ as Delta currently leases them (and sub-leases them to Mesaba). It's Delta's decision to rid itself of the B+'s and return them to Saab - so whoever wants the planes after that, needs to talk to Saab.
