Did anyone really expect anything different? One thing about the internet polls the opposite almost always happens. 405 guys automatically voted yes just to save their captain slots. All the senior FO's/downgraders wanted to keep current while they plan their exit strategies. It is the same old tune over and over.

It is awfully easy for guys to get on here, puff their chests, and try and get guys to sacrifice their careers. My guess is those same guys would vote to save their own career in a heartbeat. If I was in their situation I would do the same thing and start looking for either a better job or a way out of this industry all together.

I wonder how smooth and efficient the operation is going to run especially after everyone realizes they have been had.

It will run just fine because we are professionals. We do not act like little kids and throw a tantrum because we did not get what we want.

Different strokes for different folks. Just because voting no wasn't viable for some doesn't mean it wasn't viable for other people. It was viable for me. I prepared financially for it and would have taken great pleasure in watching Pinnacle liquidate. It's over and done with. Lets look to the future now.

Processionals? Like a funeral procession?

I noticed the same "froydeun" slip.

Sorry, Pinnacle guys. No good options at this point.

hiding behing a screenname and being an internet warrior starting threads bashing other pilots who will be out of a job or taking a 50% pay and QOL cut takes a lot of guts and fortitude, eh? and don't give me any "educational purposes" bs.
