TA Passed = No Self worth
Criticize me for throwing stones, I speak with the experience of having been furloughed, and I've left a miserable and failing regional for another regional.
We barely could make the most minimal of ends meet for nearly 2 years (year 1 pay and recovering from year 1 pay).
I know how hard it is. With some terrible life circumstances along the way. Thrashed our savings, and did damage to credit, and had serious medical issues put off (family) because of lack of health care coverage.
I would have voted this POS TA down at the cost of my job and I'm the sole source in my family. Me, wife, kid, 2 cats.
Screw whether the other regional or the majors hiring or not. If you can't go get a job outside aviation (whether you have no other skill set, or you're too lazy too, you're a fool and shouldn't be doing this job.)
Also, I have no degree, and I have my own small business totally unrelated to aviation that I nurtured so as to have a backup plan. Basically, I'm not uber qualified with a degree (or flight training) my parents paid for. I've clawed my way through it all on my own. So unless you pulled yourself up by the bootstraps from day one, I've got no sympathy for F'ing up things for other people because "you have no choice".
Bottom line, no backup plan = stupidity.
Voting yes on this TA = no dignity.
Make better choices in life, and be willing to accept the consequences when your decisions are bad. This business is unforgiving, and if you don't have a backup plan, or are not prepared for the worst, you're a fool.

What an uneducated quote! Thank you personally for moving the regional industry backwards about 10 years! I promise no one wanted your flying! Based upon what you said, you must be new! If not, you are pathetic. Where do you think you will be 3 or 5 years from now?! At mainline rocking $100 plus per hour?!?!? Good luck with that. You have forever help contribute to the demise of our industry!

Thanks for nothing Pinnacle. Thanks for rear ending all of us in the segment of the industry that can least afford it. Thanks for taking food out of my kids mouths just so you can hang on a few months longer. Don't ask me for any favors.

What would life be like today if everyone who ever stood up for anything or made a significant change decided instead: "oh well, that's life and it's not fair"? One thing that has become clear to me in life is that you CAN make a change, and sometimes you have to be creative and unique in how you institute that change (union voting is not the only way, may not even be effective), but you can change a company or situation for the better. It's not as hard as one thinks.

Voting this TA down would have helped only the regionals who received pinnacles 900s. Their cost structure would still be attacked by Delta. Pinnacle voting yes meant slower upgrades for some of you. Why should pinnacle pilots go to the street so another regional can grow?

Protect us? You were already screwed. You're still screwed and you willingly took the rest of the industry down with you. Hey Gojet guys! There is a new bottom feeder in town. Enjoy your new contract. You guys deserve it.
