PLUS much, much more.

They basically went line by line through the contract and made everything worse.

Ouch I am so happy I left. I nominate Menke for TOTD, everyday.... Good luck guys

wow that will make a lot of people bail if this were to happen. I might as well go to great lakes for an upgrade

What an embarrassment. Disgusting.

Am I reading this right, no open time at all? Not that I'm looking to pick anything up. I just wanted to make sure I'm reading it right. So everyone will be on 75 hrs pay.

Bail and go WHERE? Pilots for the most part are mostly all talk and will not take a stand If they are short and put trips in open time see how quick it gets picked up meanwhile their fellow pilots are out on the street. Management knows that pilots will sell their Mommas and their first born to get ahead.

I was expecting much worse.

Remember this is their swing for the fences. You can thank Delta for strangling this organization into BK and eliminating two fleet types.

This is pretty deplorable. Glad I'm outta' here. My sincere apologies to those sr. folks staying. Being a 2nd year Colgan FO, I really don't have a horse in the race. Just glad I made it out. Good luck everyone!

I agree. This is where they could have gone for the kill and instead are just taking us out at the knees. I am 100% sure they will get less than half of what they are going for. No judge is going to go for this. It would put pinnacle at an unfair advantage to all its competitors. The judge has to look at our contract and then compare it to industry average to bring its cost more in line with that of the industry. Our "new and improved" contract was below industry average anyway the day we signed it so I am not to worried about the judge thinking we are raping this company for all its worth.

I was expecting much worse...
