So many wanted to throw stones at us during negotiations that we were doing nothing to give the company incentive to come to the table and play ball, but everyone knows performance numbers effect Phil and his buddies bonus checks. But thank God corporate bought XJ so their outstanding negotiating team could show us at 9E how to negotiate a contract. TA passed today, so thanks to you all for getting it done for us here at 9E.

And furlough half the list... again, because they can't secure flying and growth for their company. Consider that bullet dodged, for now.

Really? I dunno, but I thought that is why a guy puts a title on a thread, you know, to steer the direction of the conversation.

Back on topic though....

I was hired after the ranch parties, but I've heard stories

You 9E guys are like a bunch of high school bullies. From contract negotiations to SLI to a guy trying to start a thread on the old Mesaba days. You thugs always have something smart ass to say. I hope this isn't what the majority of 9E guys are like or it won't be any fun flying with you guys.

Shirley,

Please read your own previous posts and you will be ashamed of yourself. Just out of curiosity, why were you bashing Colgan, and then a month later you accepted a job offer from them.

It's funny how the Mesaba Guys keep getting thrown under this "maybe you should have run your company better" Bus....but today on the PNCL Confrence call...Mesaba made 3.8 Million in Profit and Pinnacle made 1.9 MIllion. Mesaba 80ish Airframes. Pinnacle 140ish...Why does Mesaba make so much more money? I guess it's cause we are so poorly run.
