That only works for mainline, in the regional business it's kill or be killed.

Actully I have to disagree, most companies do take care of there employees, especially if they are needed. This industry is no the norm. Yes there are a few others (companies)that do the same but most give some kind of a severance. Ready for unemployment, yes we should be and we should always have a backup.

My mother works in our local school district. The district superintendent couldn't get taxes raised, nor could he get schoolworkers to bite on concessions. So he just laid off 20 people. They get nothing. The superintendent does however get another secretary, & he's not taking a paycut. The list goes on.

9E is finished, I actually thought that it wouldn't last until the end of the year. I guess I am happy for the extra time. I am resigned to that fact and no, I don't hold I'll will towards the DAL pilot group. My wife told me to always look on the bright side of things which I am finally doing. We might be in for some hard times but with a positive attitude and hard work I think the future is still bright. I have worked with some great people here and I wish everyone good luck in the post Pinnacle world.
I just thought we all needed a little positivity here.

Was Pinnacle any different when 129 CRJ-200s were awarded in the 2000-2001 era and mainline NWA DC9s and 727s were parked?
I still can't understand one regional pilot trying to talk smack down on another regional airline. Their airline hasn't done anything your airline didn't do already, which is fly outsourced routes at a cheaper cost. In any case, GoJets pilots today consist of furloughee United pilots, and tons of other regional airline pilots, including Comair. Go tell a 10 year Comair FO at GoJets that he is rubbing his hands in glee at the 9E announcements.
