right on. except I noticed the mentality starting about 4 years ago. And it's still climbing...

I think it started alot longer than 4 years ago, but it is getting progressively worse as time moves on.

What ever happened to supporting your fellow pilots, as if a job at Pinnacle airlines, working for scumbags like Sean M. and Phil T., is worth it.

The its all about me attitude started with the baby boomers.

"All about me" attitude? Propose a straight up DOH and see who beotches against it. Can you throw the "all about me" attitude to them? After all, they wouldn't have 15 month Captains anymore if it was DOH. Or, is the "it's all about me" attitude only reserved for Pinnacle pilots who are now PO'ed at the company and the union (lack of agreement amongst themselves and for the lawyer's binding arbitration) for where we are today.

Your MEC agreed to binding arbitration. Just because it did not turn out the way you wanted does mean you get to change your mind.

Bloch gave us a list and it is our seniority list whether you like it or not. No judge is going to throw out a decision made by a neutral arbitrator. You guys over at Pinnacle are turning this into US Airways regional style.

Good luck to those getting furloughed, in the conference call they mentioned something about working with other ALPA carriers to get furloughed pilots new jobs.

These guys are all into the DOH and ignoring binding arbitration thing, too. It's working out fantastic for them!

USAPA: US Airline Pilots Association

The union agreed to a lot of things behind our backs. We were just notified or told after when it was matter of fact. And working with other ALPA carriers to get jobs? Keep your options open. If GoJets hires you, go. Don't get sucked into the "ALPA carrier only" doorway. There are more options.

Are these other ALPA carriers going to be something other than another regional? I'm not starting over again. I'll start over at a place that is worth it.

If you mean major or legacy, the only ones hiring right now are Spirit (ALPA), Virgin (non-union), Fedex, umm.....?

I think a liveable FO wages would help quell the internal struggle for upgrades. Just sayin'...
