All this "I'm not falling on my sword", "you all just want our flying" blah blah blah is an excuse that really shows how near sighted many of them are. I can't blame the very senior voting "yes" they're not going anywhere. The bottom 65% however, should have voted "no". They didn't for 2 reasons. Either 1, they were too lazy to get out well before this TA or 2, they were too stupid not to leave.
The "I don't want to start over at another regional" excuse is lame. Guess what? Most of them will have to make the move to another regional when furloughed anyway... Furthermore, starting over now at some of the regionals would pay more than 9Es FO top out pay. But hell, they won't see that pay scale anyway because displaced captains will enjoy the fruit of their vote.

This thread is disappointing, bashing our peers who were put in a really ****ty position (that i hope I never go through, but probably will). Pilots bashing each other for mgmts lack of leadership. I hope I'm outta here before its our turn but no regional is immune......

Nicely done, restarting the race to the bottom all over again
This just set the regional airline industry back 15-20 years.
What do you do for an encore?

People are bailing out of Pinnacle as fast as they can.
It's not exactly a good job market out there. You can't quit and then go on unemployment, so you need some kind of job before handing in your papers.
The majority of the most senior guys who are over 55 or even 50 or in the training department are not going to leave until retirement or loss of medical. They still have good jobs, albeit at less pay then what they were making yesterday. Nonetheless it is still a good job, with adequate (or even good) pay, so why go to be pilot #10372 at some major and sit reserve for a few years?
Other than those guys, everyone else is probably doing their best to get out ASAP. This place is nowhere to waste a career. Well, it's not even a career anymore, really.
That's why no furloughs.
