Damn...it. Sorry to hear guys. This is just unbelievable to me. One week there's an announcement of the CEO getting a huge raise, the next week a Chap 11 filing. Absolutely disgusting.

I'm really sorry to hear this guys. Best of luck to y'all.

CEO getting a huge raise, the next week a Chap 11 filing.Absolutely disgusting. Rocky road ahead for the pinnacle crew members, but the'll come out just fine, don't get all to crazy with rumors and speculations. Good luck, many of us have been there more than once. |
And everyone thought Mesa was the only one that would file bankruptcy!!
I have heard RUMOR ONLY that DL is wanting to get back in bed with Mesa... Good luck PNCL.. |
Good luck to all of you.
As an ex regional pilot myself, I never thought that any regional would go ch11. |
Soo this just in....UNITED is buying the Q's and all Colgan pilots will have a united seniority number!!!
|
Man seriously. That's not funny. We are losing 80 aircraft. Which probably means I'm on the street.

reading the faqs on the company site, thank god for the jcba and the language brought over from the measaba and old pcl contracts. if you didnt notice, all fas, mechanics etc will have to reapply for any vacancies at pinnacle and start over as new hires. no moving expenses, no furlough protections, year one pay etc. once the colgan cert is done, any remaining non pilot furlough will be terminated. this is going to suck for us all. we thought 11-09 was a mess. enjoy the 250k menke.

Guys, not that what I say will help anything, but as a Comair guy who is about to be on the street, I have been impressed by other airlines trying to help out guys who are about to be furloughed. Thankfully, your pilot group hasn't burned many bridges, and airlines will be there to help the furloughs.

The Debtors are eager to use these chapter 11 proceedings to maximize value for all stakeholders and emerge as stronger businesses. After analyzing the Officer Agreements, the Debtors have determined, in the sound exercise of their business judgment, that rejecting the Former Officer Agreements would benefit the Debtors’ estates by allowing the Debtors to avoid accruing ongoing payment obligations under the Former Officer Agreements, which provide no ongoing benefit to the Debtors’ estates.

Best of luck to everyone over there!

somebody please corner menke on the conference call and ask about the plan for out of senority furloughs etc. some of us will be flying this am during the call. thx.

Ok... I just have to say that this is going to SUCK for all the pilots here. And, in all honesty, more so for the Pinnacle/Mesaba guys that could potentially be furloughed because of Colgan Air ceasing operations. But I acknowledge that the Pinnacle 900s are being parked too. Doesn't change what's already happened and what is going to happen.
All I can say is best of luck to all of us, and if anyone needs a letter of rec feel free to PM me. Stay safe out there!! |

So at this point, is there any chance the turboprop operation (either/both sf340 and/or q400 airplanes, pilots, certificate) can or will be sold to another carrier, moving the crews with the aircraft? I know this has been discussed before, but what is the real life application of the contract regarding this issue. And as for the aircraft, is Pinnacle trying to just give back and default on the q400s, or sell them, making the above question relevant. Seems to me Pinnacle would benefit by cutting the operation and seeing some sort of return from the aircraft it does own, Colgan pilots could benefit with a different opportunity, and the Pinnacle/Mesaba pilots wouldn't have to endure nearly the number of furloughs.

Bet you guys feel a little dumb for not just taking the 5% cut for 1 year and avoiding all this.
|
Really sorry to see this development. I have been through BK furloughs and liquidation. IT STINKS!!!
We are hiring 720 pilots this year and a substantial amount in the next two years. Not for everyone but beats being unemployed. Process is long but worth a look. Good luck. Pilots & Flight Deck Crew | Qatar Airways Global |

With this in mind, are the signing bonuses paid to the pilots from the new contract signed last year in any possible jeopardy?
Wow... just, wow. |
Wow the stock is kicking a$$
