Delta wasn't even part of the equation yet. Being allowed to set up other operations and fly other codes was part of the "deal" in December 2006 with NWA after getting bent over on the ASA with no cost increase while NWA was in its sham bankruptcy purging organized labor in preparation for the merger with Delta.

The Colgan family had been looking to sell for years and Pinnacle got a nonunion carrier to whipsaw and abuse. The lack of a new contract for the 9E pilots provided the cash flow to finance the Q400 airframes - hence their opinion that their hard work and abuse was spent on the advancement of another pilot group.

You know, the group that voted down a union the first time.

good luck with that. He never answers people that prove him wrong/make him look like he has no clue what he is talking about.

Are you really resorting to correcting people's spelling errors on an internet message board? Why? We all know what that person meant.

This is all a distraction from the real question, what is your leadership's excuse this time for not turning the list in? Where are the usual 9E Union people giving us another excuse of why they can't do the job they were enacted to do?

"Yesterday afternoon we contacted the Pinnacle merger committee and asked for an estimate on when they would be finished completing their updated seniority list, however they did not want to give us a specific time frame on when we could expect a list."
