Unless you know some news I don't, I haven't gained employment elsewhere yet. The points brought up are valid, there is no precedence for any of it. We're all along for the ride now, it's just a matter of time before we find out.

Its quite funny that since Feb 28th you have been non existent, posting only at night and weekends. It is almost like your doing something important... With the frequency you used to post its odd you just disappeared along with him on airlink.

I wouldn't also call VX pillar of financial stability. VX has a higher chance of playing a vanishing act then Pinnacle. Has VX ever posted a profit?
Just because your sitting in an Airbus rather then an RJ now your overall position hasn't really changed.
VX pay is also well... By no means much to brag about.

I was under the impression VX required ATP and 1000hrs of PIC? The way Shy has been crying about his upgrade, implies that he has neither.

No PIC requirement anymore.

I should call my friend at VX and tell him about the new FO that he will be sharing a flight deck with.

You mean friends right?

I get trips during weekdays and hold all weekends off. Most of my browsing email, news, and forums is at night. I haven't disappeared, I'm still here. But Ive gotten quiet now because I'm finally in the acceptance phase. Before, it was denial, disappointment, etc. But now is the final stage, acceptance of what's happened and knowing nothing I can do can change what has happened. It still doesn't change the fact I'm applying and trying to get out, which I think many pre-merger 9E pilots are doing as well.

fixed it for you.

So back to this topic. Why do majority feel the Qs will be parked as well? Onviously the Saabs will be.

Funny to watch people who mocked Manswers, suddenly become jealous of him. In a week or so he'll be having overnights in Vegas with hot young FA's, while you'll be doing Moline RR's with 9E's finest.

VA hasn't made much profit but they also have a solid backing of venture financing, and a great product. Pinnacle has neither, just a failed business model and a huge fleet of obsolete aircraft.
