I hope this somehow works out for you guys. I share a crashpad with a bunch of colgan guys and they're all stand-up dudes. Hopefully it (somehow) doesn't turn out to be as bad as it looks.

What a crappy way to wake up this morning!
Best of luck to all involved! :-/ |

Right? |

OK so you may not have to pay their bills, but fact of the matter is that they are still coworkers of yours that are going to get screwed worse. You should care about the FA contract. Even if you really do only care about yourself then this one reason I'm about to say should make you care about the FA contract. If the company is willing to try the best to throw away the FA contract then whats to say they will not throw away the pilot contract. |

Man another pilot shortage deadline averted for few more years. Fooled me once before the age 65 extension... now twice... Sick! linky no worky |
Menke and everyone on the other end of that phone call are the winners.
I can't even begin to imagine the "stay bonuses" they will get once the finish scalping the company. Hopefully the money is enough to take poor poor Menke's family out of "limbo" |

This is the issue with text based media...emotions don't come through 100% of the time. I'm sure the guy is legit worried about paying the bills and not thinking about screwing people over for personal gain. |

It looks like the Q400s are going to another undisclosed United operator...

Man this thread is drifting....
I hope in your pncl web forum, you guys are planning for preferential hiring to other places, job search assistance, someone who can walk you through unemployment application process, etc... |

See the unfair advantage management has!!!! Imagine if we could threaten to shut down the company because its causing our families too much hardship!!! If we cant use our true company wide worth as a negotiating tool, then it should be illegal for management too.
Completely agree!!! We would be in jail if we threatened operations...why not management? |
Because he is not covered by a CBA. Sean could probably get a senior mgmt job at any company and make more money... I'd probably need $200k more to live in Memphis too..

Brought to you by The Guiding Principles. Their shenanigans never ceased to amaze me back in the day and by this latest ruse.
Praying for all of you. |

Sorry to see this for all you guys / gals at Pinnacle - Pilots, FA, ... and all!
Though there is nothing funny about any of this - perhaps this link that was on Eagle Life will also fit with the crap your management pulled... YAAY Song - YouTube |

Funny, I happen to know a bunch of military pilots...there's a lot fewer of them than there used to be, and a significant percentage (at least a majority) have no interest in airlines after watching the slow motion train wreck over the last decade. They also see reserve guys taking active military orders to escape the airlines. The military won't be solving the airline's manpower issues. |
So does this mean you guy aren't going to be getting iPads?

For someone who isn't completely up to date with the goings on at Pinnacle, what is the status of Mesaba? I thought Colgan was going to get folded into Mesaba and it was going to be just Pinnacle flying jets and Mesaba flying props. Does this BK mean that there won't be any props left at Pinnacle?
