Rather see the place burn to the ground before agreeing to concessions.

I'd consider voting on concessions if it's in the best interest of the company.

Everybody relax, I have been telling myself not to get to worked up over the companys first offer. By all means if you are not happy here please leave. Instead of sinking the boat do us all a favor and just jump off.

Those who are on everyone's no fly list and can't get hired anywhere else. Other than that, I have faith those who want to leave will at some point soon. I don't think Pinnacle Corp's bankruptcy is going to be anything like the Mesaba shamruptcy. It's going to be far worse, with implications throughout the regional industry. The smart ones have already left Pinnacle. The smarter ones left the industry.

It's not the frontline Pinnacle employees who are sinking the boat. It's the senior management, and yes, they have already jumped off. With their loot! Phil T, Doug S, and now Sean M.

Hallelujah!
Never in all of my time at Pinnacle did I think i'd live to see 87% agreeing that its time to burn the place to the ground rather than agreeing to any of their bull**** terms.
Hallelujah!!!!
Liquidate the place folks! There ain't nothing for any single one of us to gain by Pinnacle (i mean Mesaba) staying afloat. Burn it, liquidate it, and come back later when its more decent of a work place.
Set an example, and the rest will follow!

Please try to remember, it is not an easy job market out there. There are still over 2000 pilots at Pinnacle. Take away the very top guys who will still be 900 Captains until the doors close, out of everyone else, the vast majority are trying to find something better. I would appreciate it if you weren't so insulting to those less fortunate than you.

And yes, there are plenty of guys who are trying to get interviews with JetBlue, Virgin, and Spirit. Those three places aren't exactly clamoring to interview every perfectly well qualified pilot who applies. They are very competitive. Good for those guys who were lucky enough to land an interview and then a job offer. Hundreds, if not thousands, of qualified pilots have not gotten interviews or offers. If you know the magic quality that gets a guy a phone call or friendly email invitation, please share.
