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.

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!

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??????

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!
