Dear Delta,
Tell us something we didn't already know! ~The Pinnacle Pilot Group |

Negotiating Committee Update
Management advised the Negotiating Committee that it has received new information from Delta concerning our future fleet plan. If we are able to come to terms on a Restructuring Agreement that amends the JCBA, it is anticipated that the 200 fleet will begin to shrink sometime next year, and that we may be in position to gain additional CRJ-900 aircraft. If we are unable to reach agreement on revisions to the JCBA, we have been told that Pinnacle will wind down, and that our flying will be taken over by other carriers who have already been selected by Delta. In order to assess the impact of these forecast revisions to the fleet plan, both the ALPA and management negotiating teams have decided to work internally for the next several days. We are currently planning to return to the bargaining table next week. We do not believe that the projected fleet plan changes mean that there is no future for Pinnacle, but we do believe that it is highly likely that Pinnacle will experience a reduction in its overall fleet size. This is important information for you to have, especially as some of you consider the wisdom of bidding on a Long Term Leave or consider what other employment options might be available to you. The Negotiating Committee is in close contact with the MEC, and continues to work on formulating proposals that address the needs of the company and the needs of our pilots in an uncertain environment. http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instanc...x/31016002.jpg Gojet smells blood. http://www.divetime.com/images/photo...r.com10266.JPG |

"Pinnacle". The Comair sequel.
(Taking concessions never got Comair a single additional aircraft. In spite of what MAY have been promised. Good Luck.) |
"You may receive additional -900 growth...."
All the while we're presently losing -900 airframes ahead of schedule. HMMMMMmmmmm. |

Take a good look at Comair history folks and play accordingly. Get your apps in everything you can think of, but, please try to stay away from [insert infamous bottom feeder airline here]. Good luck guys - you're going to need it. And don't forget to give your fellow "brothers" at DALPA credit for the shifting of ALPA jobs to the non-union crap ones. I like to give credit where it's due. |

My guess is 9E could get 35 -900's and drop 90-100 200's. If you play ball.... Still a loss but.....

If the proposed concessions are agreed to, it will cripple the standard for compensation at the regionals. Do you really think it's worth that to gain 35 or so airplanes? It will drive down pay everywhere.
Plus why would Delta just take all their 900s away just to give them some back? |
The commuters that have the Lowest labor costs and can agree to contracts that greatly benefit the majors will be around for a while
The commuters that don't agree to concessions but instead choose to offer their pilots a "pilot career", with decent pay and benefits won't be able to survive. Truly a race to the bottom |
