you're the one that thinks bubba is a pilot.

I see you have moved on to spreading cluelessness to other threads.

In would say Pinnacle, you will start sooner (as someone said, six weeks can be a lifetime on a seniority list). Also pinnacle has a better contract and probably as much growth opportunity as anyone. Eagle is up for sale...if there are no buyers they could go the way of COMAIR and the Dodo bird.

If fuel hits $150/bbl and there's another round of mergers, you may find your regional to be your career airline.

This is the airlines - Planning has little to do with it.

I too am from OKC, at Colgan we will have about 4-5 flights a day on the Q. That means you will get priority on the jumpseat. And as far as I know, Im hardly there. Im 99.99% sure there is no other Colgan jumpseaters from OKC. And you could possibly be based in Houston. Something to think about when going to Pinncle or trying for Colgan. Pinnacle when the lists merge you maybe able to swap to Q and its only and hr and half commute.

You might get a quickie(upgrade) from the left one and the right one has no idea of a prepnup(contract) . I know I'm having a hard decision too!

I would say pinnacle . Newer contract plus once these captains get their retro check , I would say it would motivate some percentage of them to leave and move on to bigger better things. Plus with FedEx hiring soon I bet we will loose plenty of pilots to FedEx. There is a lot of FedEx slash pinnacle love pat on the back style buddy buddy , in Memphis . Which all in all moves your number up on the list . Plus most importantly . You ll be another soul below me !!!!
