Now Bartok, you know that if some 21 year old 300 hour Big Sky punk was arguing with you back in the day of the sham bankrupcy/XJ Holdings formation/Big Sky purchase and told you "you didn't buy me XJ Holdings did" you would have slapped his candy *ss all the way back to Montana.....
Nothing has changed.

Out of curiosity, what would your relative senority at xj be if you subtracted all saab positions?

That may be true, it is also probably true that doh will hurt the lower 50% of mesabas pilots. So are you suggesting, the junior 9e guys get together with the senior xj guys and play "let's ****** our buddies"? I just thought a some thought should be given to the fact that pre-purchase xj was going to furlough roughly half the list. The same consideration should be given to the fact that Colgan would never have the growth from the q400s if they had not been aquired and funded by Pinnacle. As long as those two factors weigh in to the sli I will think the outcome is "fair".

Your argument holds as much weight as the fact that XJ negotiators got this deal done for 9E.
And I'm not saying screw anyone, I just think straight DOH is the fairest method to most pilots.

And consideration should be given to that fact that Pinnacle pilots own nothing, Pinnacle Holdings owns all 3 of us, Pinnacle airlines purchased nothing.

Exactly!
I find it so funny that people always spout off against management until they get in these little poop throwing contests. Then, all of a sudden it is 'we' bought you and 'we' did this or that. We are all just cogs in a wheel, if one of us falls off there are 8,000 more in a spare parts box to take our place, at a cheaper rate! All we can do is operate the aircraft safely, go home and vote on things with our conscience. I sleep well at night, do you?
