Add me to the list. Personally, I wanted to be home listening to the call and find out what the Pinnacle and Mesaba MECs will be deciding for our company. Colgan, on the other hand, decided I was to work an extra couple of flights and get home several hours later than planned.

Perhaps they could get more participation if conference calls were not in the middle of the day.
Make these "all hands" calls at say 7pm. The day workers would be done, the evening workers would be waiting on the plane to finish an LC, and the stand ups could listen just before show time.

Juice, I am all for the pilot group and the union. But I cant help feel that our reps don't do enough to keep us involved. From experience it seems like they have their group and only update us through a generic email which really dont say to much about where we are. Also I approached one of our reps saying I wanted to volunteer and he never got back to me.

Doing nothing, Colgan will have the Mesaba contract. Management knew that when they bought Mesaba, so it is up to US to demand MORE!
It ain't gonna be easy, but I will NOT vote for anything less than the best of Pinnacle and Mesaba PLUS! Pinnacle CORP has the biggest turbo prop fleet (twice as many as Horizon). Not to ignore the jets, but props are THE MOST EFFICIENT at puddle jumping. There is NO other regional that has the prop capacity to replace us. For ONCE, we prop guys have the trump cards. We on the prop side can and must stand firm and force a GOOD contract... FOR ALL AIRCRAFT! If we don't, then I never want to hear any b!tching about work rules, pay, or scheduling: we hold our destiny.
