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

So things change, and they were out of our control. It appears that Pinnacle Corp. had this in the works for a while now and it may be one of, or even the main reason for the delay in the contract until after the purchase. The fact is that together all of our career expectations are better than if we remained separate. I don't understand your argument to throw so many under the bus when in fact you will probably gain if the SLI gets done fairly. It seams you have the all or nothing attitude, and tht's going to be a hard sell for the majority of the group

Pinnacle Holdings existed on paper before the Colgan purchase, it just wasn't being used. The ORIGINAL plan was to start up a non-union carrier. However, the lock was put on that during contract negotiations, so they went out and BOUGHT one. I never could understand how they said they couldn't start a non-union carrier, but they could buy an existing one and keep it separate under a corporate umbrella.
As for the original question....go with the one that's going to give you the better QoL. ATL isn't going to be impossible to get. You'd probably have better luck getting ATL than MSP or MEM in the near future....

Who realistically has career expections at a regional? What kind of career expectations do you have? You can take your career expectations and your seniority and have a good career at Pinnacle. Enjoy your 10 days off as you go into your retirement.

As bad as regonals are... There are few jobs where you can make 100K and have 1/2 the month off. Just sayin

1/2 the month off is more like half the month gone. Other jobs you're at home every day.
It is what it is but with the amount of time and investment that's required of this profession, and certainly sacrifice, you can certainly do a lot better in other fields. Just sayin

100k is after 15 to 20 years at a regional and maybe after 8 base changes...
