Well, at least it is an exciting time to be part of the "family". Kinda like being on a Tilt-a-Whirl after eating six chilly cheese dogs.

I agree I think the PCL pilots have seen most of the games we have seen. PCL is a pretty strong pilot group I have tons of respect for a group that votes down a TA, so I don't under estimate you guys. I just hope we can get this all worked out and not Pi$$ to many pilots off. I for one will not come with an attitude, I just want to go to work and forget about the place.

Question:

Is it possible to have 1 contract for 3 seperate pilot groups from 3 separate airlines?...I know that they all fall under the "corp", but they are still separate airlines. Now granted, Colgan and Mesaba will become 1, but pinnacle is its own entity...

Just Curious

Then you look left and see a "1".

As per a company memo, Mesaba furloughs will be offered preferential hiring to Pinnacle and Colgan. Pinnacle plans to hire 60 pilots starting late July or August and continue hiring the rest of the year. Colgan plans to hire around 100 pilots this year. Mesaba furloughs will not have to interview and will retain Mesaba seniority numbers and longevity but will be treated as a new hire for bidding. If I missed anything please add.......
