I find it sad most of you voted to come sit short call reserve for less than I made flight instructing. Delta isn't hiring this year. There is a excellent track record of flow throughs not working out. I think between Compass and Pinnacle there will be way more promises tan jobs for a long time even if Delta doesn't back out on their promises.

Congratulations on being such cheap *****s. To the Pinnacle guys who voted no, I'm truly sorry you are surrounded by weaklings.

Welcome to the 15% club. You'll be comforted to know the future of your industry is safely in the hands of spineless whiners.

Fyi. Legacy means : of, relating to, or being a previous or outdated.

When guys here say Legacy they are referring to the "old" or formerly known. When we call airlines Legacy such as AA is because of how long they've been in operation and compared to the competition they are Legacy or the remaining ones. But you work at GoJet so I am not expecting much out of you![/QUOTE]

Thanks for clearing that up. It makes complete sense now.

The ASA pilots supported Pinnacle.

Wonder how he feels about that now ?

He didn't seem optimistic about much when I stopped him in the lounge recently. Certainly didn't share in the bravado ASA pilots have been afflicted with on and off since the merger was announced.

You will not have the option to vote on a pay rate. Your MEC will do it for you.

They haven't even gotten to the financial cuts to the XE side yet. You think this is a stumbling block just wait.

Pictures at six!

There are only a few items the MECs are apart on BUT when it comes to ASA management wanting financial cuts you can bet XE items will be at the top of the list after the 9E deal.

I'm glad you are taking that position because your MEC is negotiating an "over ride" rate to the ERJ. That means it would only be paid when you actually fly the aircraft...no soft time.

So telling people that you hope they don't have kids as they would be so stupid they couldn't survive? Give me a break. That has nothing to do with voting on a TA. I'm just glad that we are more expensive than go jets and compass still. It would suck lowering the bar like Skywest or expressjet since they have to be the second lowest paid DCI carrier.
