But Gulfstream and JetU promised I'd be a super amazing heavy airliner captain by now! It's not fair! It's not fair! Why am I not paid well??? It makes no sense. I have no college degree and I'm a complete social retard!
Silly Pinnacle.
Let's just wrap this up folks. It's an airline built on mediocrity, staffed mostly with whoever would buy their jobs, and sinking in a dying industry sector. Best of luck with all that!

108 isn't 87% of the pilot group. It's probably those on the bottom of the seniority list who are getting furloughed and won't have a job regardless. The pilots will NEVER shut this place down. Too many people with excuses, i.e. "My spouse makes the money", or "I'm a trust fund baby and don't need the paycheck", or "I can afford a paycut, I'm still living with my parents", etc, etc, etc...
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of hard workers and great people in this company/industry...but for those reasons I've listed above (and many more), there will never be true solidarity within a company, let alone the industry. It's what keeps two-bit, Micky Mouse operations like Pinnacle afloat.

Well said. The same Capts sitting around the table in the crew room in DTW talking about how their gonna take matters into their own hands if the contract BS doesn't stop are the same ones literally falling over themselves to get the door shut and out on time.
Pinnacle is a joke always has been always will.

Am I the only person wondering about the Embry-Riddle CFI whose "Cheap-Out Journey Across America" is the topic of a NYT article cited by an airline CEO (also quoted in the article) in a post to employees about how they're going to have to suck it up?
Who IS this Josh Hunter person?

The guy in the article complained about how long his journey was, all he had to do is pay more money and he could have gotten there in a fraction of the time. What is the point of the story here?

Sad thing for the remaining slow-death Comair guys is they're the last ones to bail out and get jobs elsewhere, so they're doomed to sit lower on the list wherever they end up and have less QOL... assuming they stay in the airline industry. 6-10 year FO on reserve or, worst-case scenario, make a lateral move and be a 1-year FO lineholder elsewhere.... hmm. Or better yet, find a normal job where you're only away from home 40 hours a week and get paid twice as much.
