Finally! Thanks to Busch for creating a camo can. Now I can drink while I hunt without spooking the turkeys.

Out of seniority furloughs can be easily done because Colgan's operation is still seperate from the Pinnacle operation. So what if there hasn't been a precedence before? There wasn't any precedence for a 2007 DOH prop guy to be more senior to a jet guy hired in 2000 at a regional. There's always a first.

Lets be honest, there's absolutely zero reason why Pinnacle should have to furlough a Pinnacle CRJ qualified pilot at JFK just to retrain some colgan Saab pilot. It doesn't add up financially. This airline did not need one list, we got it anyway in order to prevent a whipsaw. Ironically, this one list will end up being one of the downfalls of this place, the others being the old management decisions under Phil T and his gang. The mess created by 11-09, the ensuing displacements resulting from the parking of the Mesaba Saabs and Colgan Saabs will be the downfall. This airline's financial health would have been a lot better without one list, and then just furlough and downgrade the affected Mesaba and/or Colgan pilot. If your fleet is headed for the desert, only the affected pilot should be at loss. Not some innocent pilot across another certificate!

Oh well, you reap what you sow. The 9E union will learn that the hard way.

Isn't much wonder that you now work at a non-union airline.

By furloughing those at the bottom who contributed the least amount of dues revenue? Yeah...they'll learn their lesson.
