Selling mesaba off was the easy way out.
I also think all the furloughed and future furloughees were very happy and jumping for joy to know the weren't losing their pay, health coverage, or that they would be getting those things back. Your all welcome
After all it could have been transtates. Now hopefully we can get a good contract for us all.
And in another post you mentioned pay rates. Mesaba pay rates aren't much better than pinnacle. Especially when you all pay 3 to 20 times as much as us for healthcare.

I was here when nwa came and said they would take the planes if we didn't get a pilot contract. We didn't get a contract and nwa took the planes. Don't worry they will be coming home soon.

lol just like mesaba secured the 900's a few years ago.
And dont you mean OUR mec? They are working for you too now. So welcome aboard fellow pinnacle pilot. Maybe we will fly together in Memphis sometime. I have had the privilege of flying with a couple of mesaba guys and one mesaba girl. All glad to be here and were a pleasure to fly with.

You should not be able to jump ahead to a much better position afterwards due to how the SLI was worked out. Anything else amounts to you taking from another pilot.
