I will go out (way out) on a limb and predict:

1. The Pinnacle Bankruptcy preceding will be settled quickly with minor impact on pilot pay and benefits.

2. At some point the transfer of Pinnacle CRJ900s to Express Jet will be halted.

3. Pinnacle will become an all CRJ900 company and will receive additional 900s from the Delta purchase.

4. Delta will establish a flow through program with Pinnacle.

5. Pinnacle will be moved to MSP.

IMHO - They will grant wavers "in the flow" for no college degree, etc. Imagine bypassing a 10,00 hr CRJ900 Captain because he does not have a BA in Underwater Basket Weaving. Supply and demand will dictate what waivers are granted.

I'll still go "way out on the limb" and predict that if the TA is passed, Delta will purchase Pinnacle. (probably for less money then they got for Mesaba )


Batting average is improving.

Real classy, man. But for someone like you, I should have voted no? Got it. Ill take your advice...you can continue to ***** in my absence.

Nope...forget about me.

But you did vote to legitimize your CEO's bankruptcy pay raise...you legitimized them peeing away every dollar...you legitimized them bullying you into fear. Thanks.

Like somebody wrote a couple of pages ago, when its your turn just vote No.

A pinnacle pilot telling someone else to vote no? LOL

Your groups opinion is now worth the same as a pile of dog poop.

FWIW I will vote no when its my turn. I'll be damned before something takes a crap on me and tells me to eat it. I'll see it coming wayyyy before it does. The signs were there for you guys a long time ago.

And if the majority of your coworkers vote it in, you're going to quit, right?

I won't even be around to see the outcome of the vote.

Must be nice. I sure wish I had that kind of guarantee. Maybe I would have voted no for this. As you were...

I sure wish you had foresight and fortitude also man.

As YOU were...o wait....

ahh yes...silver spooner who can go back and live with mom and dad and have them pay for more flight training or another degree?:rolleyes::D

Nope I am clever enough to recognize a slow train wreck coming.

I have made smart financial decisions...lived on my own since 18...covered my own flight training...homeowner...etc.

You have been at a bankrupt regional for the better part of a year now...it isn't any one else's fault that you haven't planned for this.

Oh you know my financial situation and my seniority and my the size of my bank account and whether I plan ahead or am finacially responsible? Miss Cleo, is that you????

Well, if you're so certain you wont even be in your current job for much longer, why are you so up in arms about this TA. Clearly, I'm beneath you, so is the rest of this pilot group. Why are you wasting your time? And fwiw, big balls do nothing when you cant pay bills, my friend! You have no idea what foresight I have beyond this place. But I really will stop posting now. The soapbox is yours, oh great one with unmatched fortitude!

Just like you know I am a silver spooner and I can go live with mom and dad right????

and it isn't any other regional pilot's fault that you got into this industry apparently not knowing what the race to the bottom was.....guess you didn't plan on other airlines having to vote on concessions and affecting yours eh? and why do you act like this is the first time an airline has voted on concessions??????

notice I put a question mark...I was asking.......

Sorry dude...I got into an airline that was setting the bar higher at the time. The opinion of a Pinnacle yes voter means nothing right now. Your words are falling on deaf ears.

Enjoy your new contract.

dude, I was probably at your precious regional at one time and left because Pinnacle was better for me. You're one of these new guys that didn't notice they cyclical nature of who is the bottom feeder one day and who is the place to be the next, and vice versa, eh?

Well, your upgrade is long gone and you have no guarantee of any other job but another regional. Maybe when your longevity matches up you can transition over to being a flight attendant at Pinnacle, make more money, and then pay your bills even better!

Enjoy your new contract.

I just glad Pinnacle pilots had enough class not to post crap when other airlines were voting on concessions, and hopefully they do in the future when it happens to you-know-who's airlines...

How did you do it? I don't know anybody who lived on their own at 18. And I know a lot of people.

My upgrade is gone, correct. I was a captain though...at least I have some PIC time on the books.

No guarantee of anything but another regional? I can guess where you might have pulled that statement from and you can shove it right back up there.

I dont know who told you a F/A makes more than me now or after the new payrates go into effect tomorrow but it's BS. And hey, I would have been much better off collecting unemployment huh? I could have your tax dollars pay my bills.
