Ain't gonna happen. Where do you even come up with this stuff??

This is what our management is saying, it could be a lie, I don't really know.

I will not go out of my way for the company or do any favors for the company but I will not take it our on our Passengers.

By not going out of your way or doing favors you are taking it out on the PAX. No one is saying do anything deliberate, they are saying exactly what you just said. No favors or pushing yourself above and beyond.

It's true, Delta has contingency plans in place and Delta told our mngmnt that Air Wis would be one of the winners if we vote the TA down.
Question is how many will vote no and jump to AW? It's a gamble but 60% really have nothing to lose.

Vote it down, sink the ship, then go to where the airplanes went. They will be hiring like crazy. DAL will never flow you into their list. At best you will get pref interview. Which they will laugh at you for voting yes and swiftly kick you out the door.

Skywest and ASA/XJT are not getting any of our planes according to management.

Doesn't that automatically mean that is certainly where they are going? :cool:

Never believe anything until it is officially denied.

Very sorry to all the great XJ/9E/9L guys and gals, I hate to see that happen to you. It looks to me like another Comair. No matter what you do, Delta already decided what's going to happen to Pinnacle. Best of luck.

All the best to the XJ/9E/9L clan. Sad times indeed with what has become of a couple great airlines.

No, have some class. Lots of pilots stand to lose their jobs en masse, and no one deserves that. Best of luck to all involved, and hopefully this Age 65 thing kicking in can change things around.
