pinnacle is headed for a meltdown that will trump all other meltdowns - they have no idea just how many people have been hired at places that will be leaving between now and the end of the year. It is a significant number. I think there are over 20 waiting jet blue class dates Then they will pull the "higher attrition than expected" excuse

I agree, I just flew with a guy who is waiting for a class date from Jet Blue, he mention that 13 other Pinnacle guy is also waiting for a class date (It could be more but he knows 13 for sure). So far I counted 5 guys who are waiting for a class date from Delta.

If I still worked there, I wouldn't be a commuter anymore! Almost makes me miss the place! :rolleyes:

Also, I found a nice crashpad for $150ish if you are interseted PM me...
It all sounds good for $150, until you find out you are in the basement, no a/c, and mold. Go for the $200+ crash pads if you want something nice, although the one I had was 200 and had no a/c in the living areas (only in some bedrooms) and roaches running all over (especially the kitchen).
I do know of a real nice female crash pad close to the airtrain (girlfriend was there) if any FA's or female pilots are interested, it's $250, but nice.

You have the option to voluntarily downgrade whenever you want?

No. I am saying that if they said we need 25 captains from my base to go to JFK instead of upgrading people I can go back to being an FO instead of being forced to go to JFK.
