According to Ryan Gumm, the Pinnacle-Delta alliance is a “new and different approach by a major airline to create a seamless customer experience between mainline and regional service. The level of support from Delta is unprecedented and is providing a platform that we can build upon to grow.”

Gumm’s goal for Pinnacle is to be a world-class regional airline with the best product at the best price. In order to achieve that goal, Pinnacle employees, including the pilots, must own the idea of “one level of customer service” that spans the Delta network.
I'll get right on that as soon as they get on "one level of pay and benefits" for that level of effort. So far they have been going in the wrong direction with that.

Probably because the company didn't bother to provide a coat when they changed the uniforms from blue to black. The company is lucky they all don't show up wearing a chimp suit. After all the company is now paying wages in bananas.

Zoom!!! Right over your head.

positive. This was the case.

so they can't afford a $75 pilot overcoat from a vendor or Coat's Warehouse, but have no problem dishing out $200 for a $50 fleece jacket whose price is jacked up simply because it says "The North Face" on it? Sounds like some people are still in high school and only buy the best to fit in with the "in" crowd! I think my favorite was the -900 FO who was wearing a black Under Armor hoodie at the gate podium, hood up, with the giant white UA logo, and sunglasses on while looking at the release for 20 minutes at night. Looked like the Unibomber.

Of course you did, you were Colgan.


(kidding, but we at Mesaba were told we had to just wear our blue coats or buy a coat at our own expense)

Colgan guys weren't provided with overcoats, just the blazer, same as Mesaba. I bought a black overcoat, because it looks stupid to wear the blue one with the black uniform, even though it is allowed.
