[QUOTE=Silver02ex;1120622]And who exactly will they will replace them with the next day? because replacing 40+ airplanes is sooooo easy. How many flights will be cancel while United find a way to replace all those routes? If you would have said, they'll be replace within a year. That, I can see, but have them replaced that quick? really?

the point is this scenerio is just hypothetical board drama. this is not a game of unknown moves. it was orchestrated way back when delta was going to drop pinnacle then changed its mind. Everthing since has been planned to a t.

And don't think Conited hasn't started closed-door discussions with their other regional affiliates.

Now, why would Unental increase their rates before b ruptcy? when they can get away with increasing them less passing on the difference to other vendors and the flight attendants who make 16k a year.

there is no compassion in business. Hell is going to be full of executives.

i honestly dont see pinnacle pilots taking pay rate cuts at all, maybe some pilot merger rules and that is it.

Sometimes its better to give up 5% than to lose 100%.

the root problem for all regional pilots, the uninformed voter

i would pay to see you say that to a comair pilot....you wouldn't make it out of the room in one piece

Hahahahaaaa..... So which are you, the lifer or the KoolAid drinker?

the lifers will stfd faster than you whiners and upgrade chasers

It is also better to give up 35% than to lose 100%. Where do we draw the line?

We don't draw the line. We vote for the paycuts and pass the buck to the next pilot group, expecting someone else to make the stand. Meanwhile, we scratch our heads and wonder why this career continues the downward slide.
