^^^^^This is spot on! This same BOD approved the purchase of Colgan and Mesaba. This same BOD gave PT and DS a couple million dollars to "consult" after they "resigned." These same morons are the men behind the curtain pulling the strings. Menke may as well have been dropped onto the bridge of the Titanic just before it hit the iceberg. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! There was nothing that could be done to stop this sinking ship. Now Menke has to attempt to clean up a mess he didn't make. I sure don't like the fact that Menke took a pay raise, but the BOD are the REAL criminals.

These Frontier pilots who constantly refer to Menke as a hero, are the same ones who voted to not merge with Southwest Airlines.........IDIOTS!!!

Menke is a total scumbag as he hasn't done one single action to help Pinnacle become a better place. He has not done anything. His entire legacy so far is nothing more than ask for paycuts, and focus on how Pinnacles finances are in poor shape. Union leaders have offered multi times to implement cost saving measures in the form of contractual relief, yet Menke has rejected all of that. Which only makes me believe, he is purposely sinking the ship, or simply on drugs. No CEO would deliberately make the out of control decisions he has made.

And you are a brain surgeon right?
Not merging with SWA there was a reason to it. Please fill in the rest for me since you know so much. And by the way there was an auction and RAH bid was more than SWA's.

Again deflecting the thread away from Pinnacle.

Not really accurate or on topic?

Maybe these senators should ST*U until they get paid what they are worth--ZERO! Congress' approval numbers are abysmal and it doesn't seem to stop them from giving themselves raises. Boo-hoo... Our CEO makes a lot of money and I don't... NEWSFLASH--you work at one of the worst regionals. YOU chose to go to work there. Don't like it? Leave.

"He's been here 7 months," time to stop blaming others. Meanwhile the @ss clown in the white house is still blaming "others" for his incompetence.

I sent emails to my senators asking them to join in with the ones from the Western New York Delegate in denouncing this company and the executives. I urge you all to do the same. It only takes 5 mins.

It would be better to educate the senators and congresspersons about why the RLA needs to be repealed.

I'm sure you do. Doesn't make it true. Sarah Palin (FOX correspondent) on the Today show railed against Obama's "socialist policies". When asked if she thought the economy was getting better she replies "For who? (sic). Maybe some Wall Street fat cats!!". The irony is she can't even understand the contradiction of her own statements. Somehow I doubt you do either.

The point was made that the signatures on the letter were all Democrats. At best, the R's are ignoring the disgusting $$ grab by the Pinnacle execs. As FOX is the mouthpiece of the R party, it is unlikely it will ever be aired on the network.

Yawn. You aren't a pilot are you? If you are, please don't apply to my airline

Ah, the double standard: gotta love it. If I were to mention politics (I am a staunch righty btw), my post would have been deleted before I hit submit. And usmcflyer says that he doesn't stand a political ground on this forum.
And your point about palin? What was it? Exactly.
