Flying should be back at mainline. Period. There will be growing pains associated with the shift, but taking a paycut is just one of them. I willingly admit that taking a 9% paycut at a regional and having a segway to a major is worth it. I want to retire at mainline, not Skywest, ExpressJet, Pinnacle etc. And when I get furloughed from our fleet reduction. Good! Bring the flying back mainline!

The only crap part is, Mainline will probably outsource more feed to larger RJs as retirements start to come into play... I hope I am wrong, but I think it's a good possibility to see more and more trans con flights being flown by larger RJs while mainline focuses primarily on international flights

It's cute that you and everybody else on here criticizing pinnacle think that I give a shiny turd about you, your family, or your airline. I'm looking out for number 1.
*I know this situation isn't scabbing, but the rationale behind a yes vote is the exact same as a scab would give. Maybe now you shouldn't be harsh for those who cross picket lines just to keep families fed, make ends meet, make payments, and looking out for #1.

Isn't this is the same reasoning as a scab gives?

So if you were being offered $3000 as "signing bonus" and three months pay if you get furloughed this year.
(75x33.10)*3 = $7447.50 + $3000 = $10447.50
@ Year 2 Pay
As someone less than 40 from the bottom of 2300, what did I have to lose if I vote no, $10,447.50, before taxes. If I am going to lose my job anyways, and have little chance of making it back anytime soon, why would I leave 10 grand on the table. That could make a huge difference when unemployed. Yeah my vote was bought, sh*t happens in this industry, you will change your mind WHEN the time comes. Ill take my money and figure out something else, take the money and finish up my masters when I'm on unemployment.
