Extra points if you can draw the whole logo.....I'm going to start selling templates for all the DCI carriers to capitalize on this.

I have already begun to make washable tattoos. Every time it is washed off the plane goes to a new carrier.

I heard this from a captain about a week or two ago. He said the instructors had a meeting about getting 700's. I will believe it when I see it.

Of course Pinnacle is getting the GoJet 700's, just as soon as the pilots agree to give up another 10% pay. I predict fistfights at the ballot box to get the yes votes cast.

Pinnacle has been losing on average 40-60 pilots a month since April 1st 2012, there is now way we could staff additional aircraft, they are having problems staffing now. "IF" we were to get 700s the performance would be worse than GoJet unless it was a 1 for1 trade.

Won't happen, they tried that at Mesaba back when we first got the 900's. Union came back and told them, if you want to give hiring bonuses, you have to give it to all current pilots as well. Put the kibosh on that one.

No new hires are compensated under our contract. If they want to pay certain pilots extra outside the contract, there will be a grievance with past history not in favor of the company.
