Guys guys... it doesn't matter... vote yes.. vote no.. Most of you are really terrible at your jobs anyway. It's all going to be fine, buddies.

Now, can we just get back to talking about assault rifles and french kissing livestock?

^^^^^ just made me spit out beer. :D

Pinnacle pilots despite what management has done, have continued to have some of the best performance numbers in the industry. This could change if this TA is voted in and if it does, I will believe we are destined to follow in Comair's footsteps. If we continue to operate efficiently I think being cheaper makes us attractive in every way. I know this is something that most of you hate. We should work slowly so we need more pilots and we should be paid what we all think we deserve even if the market doesn't support that level of pay. I for one would love more salary but I understand that at the regional level you take what you can get in hopes of a better job elsewhere. I joined up knowing this truth. Good luck to all regional pilots who have to endure this industry for any length of time.

With that attitude, you'll be earning 'regional' industry income for a LONG time, even if/when you start flying for a better carrier. When you're content subsisting on scraps thrown your way, don't be surprised that you're perpetually hungry.

At some point, you must stop counting on everyone else to do the heavy lifting while you just hop onto their coat-tails, enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Im curious to know what you and the other non-9E NoVoters are doing to solve the problem?

Depends on what you mean by "solve the problem"...

Is the problem Pinnacle's demise at the hands of an uncaring Mgt team?

Or is the problem feeding your family and paying off flightschool loans with pay cuts and furlough?

Both problems. :)

And this is the crux of the entire problem.

Anyone who gets the beat down because of unfair law and management practices is expected to take the sacrificial fall to better the others in the industry.

If we had a real union organization, all of our union brothers from other airlines would be coming to OUR aid and not allow management to treat us in this manner.

As it is, we are expected to fall on the sword for them.

Yup. They will accept the same when DL comes for them.

UH Oh............. All the best Pinnacle. You may want to look at the relationship mama Delta had with Comair. Check out the Comair thread too- especially the youtube videos dealing with that movie Deliverance.
