Like I said. Have lots of friends there, therefore it (indirectly) affects me. You are more than welcome to your opinion on things over here at Blue. If you can't handle people having opposing opinions, I highly suggest turning off the computer, walking away and living in a cave.

Kellwolf your excuse is the lamest excuse I have heard in a long time. I have friends there. You must have some pretty dumb friends if you have to think for them. If you were a good friend you would say take the 6-26K and quit. Shutting this place down and getting zero is great advice. Maybe bad judgement pays your bills, most banks prefer money.

Or man-up and stand your ground. If you want to have a worthwhile career flying airplanes maybe it is time to make a decision that is long-term and looks longer than 6 months down the line. That is why we are in this mess in the first place, management couldn't see past 6 months. If pilots kept rolling over every time management comes asking for money this career will only get worse. Do you want to be 65 flying a 787 for 55K a year still struggling to pay your bills?

Why don't you offer to work for free then, the company would love to retain your services so you can maintain currency. Anyone with a heartbeat can get a job right now flying airplanes. If you have the time you will get a job, it doesn't matter if you have 500 hours the last 6 months or .5 hours. Eagle will even give you a 5K bonus, but hey, if you want to sell your soul to stay current, you get your one vote.

Looking at the interview process, it looks like it's more of an attempt to make sure people behave while pinnacle is being wound down.
Notice how easy it is for them to get out of the 81 CRJ 900s, too.

Why would we be wound down at those rates, this TA solves the longevity problem and undercuts every other regional. If anything we will be used as whipsaw bait.
