Comair held those bragging rights at one time, too. Careful what we wish for...

So if us pinnacle pilots made the ultimate sacrifice and struck, how many of you xj guys were going to fly the struck work? You can answer once you get the taste of your toe jam out of your mouth.

Mesaba would NOT have flown struck work...

unless of course those guys would have wanted to end up on "the list", just like the 5 Spirit Scabs...

I have confidence in my ALPA brothers and sisters that they would not have been fooled by the dangled carrot of Pinnacle's struck work.

Correct, that is not what I meant by that. I was just saying that there were a lot of assumptions being made. Even if there was a strike it was impossible to predict the outcome. It could have changed Pinnacle for the better or worse. To say things like we brought nothing to the table is wrong. All three groups brought something to the table, and together we are better than if we were separate

Luckily for us all we're one big happy family (at least until the ISL :D)

Mesaba brings a decent contract
Pinnacle brings lots of planes and shrewd management (retaining the SAAB work)
Colgan brings... well they bring something but I can't put my finger on it :)

Colgan brings Qs that burn 40% less fuel than 50seat jets and seats 74. Soon on the table is a chicago base along with flights in/out of colorado.

The only thing I bring is myself.

You boys are lucky to have such a vested interest in your respective companies, I hope it makes you rich.
