1.). There's no giving it up because it's gone. Out of 2,320 pilots 1,910 will have a job loss (either Captain downgrade or furlough). The remaining 410 captains are lifers with blemished records or no degree. Obviously the top 410 will vote yes. The others should vote NO as a retaliation and out of moral ethic to not wuss into dirt cheap wages.
didn't realize you had access to my PRIA, transcripts and medicals...since you do wanna fill out my resume/apps for me sometime since you seem to know everything about me and 400 other people? it would be greatly appreciated...

I don't know your TA very well. Just what I've heard. I'm curious how many of your pilots would have voted "No" if management didn't offer furlough pay for 3 months and Travel Benefits.
Yes, the rest of us are ****ed off because now when we go into negotiations our companies will tell us we can't compete unless we also take pay cuts.
Most of you that get furloughed will move on to other airlines or aviation jobs and probably will never go back. It just seems like it's screwing the rest of us for a measly 3 months of furlough pay?
However, that being said I'm not in your shoes. So, while it might upset me on the inside I still will have a professional respect for your pilot group.

I can totally understand your, and others, sentiment about being ****ed off. We are not very happy either. And I appreciate the fact that you will treat us with respect. That means a lot to a lot of people. Thanks
You guys still crack me up

In the big picture, this vote is meaningless. Pinnacle will cease to exist in a few years just like Comair. I laugh about the bridge program to mainline. There's a decent chance that mainline might not hire for a couple years. This vote is lose/lose. In the long run, it does not matter how it turns out. The future has already been decided.

Is that you Miss Cleo? I'd like to talk to you about my phone bill from 1995!
