You actually got a pay raise when you lost your base and your airplane. The sad part about Pinnacle parking 200's is that once again, the Colgan captains will still have a job. Meanwhile Pinnacle AND Mesaba FO's have zero future here. What we are going through at Pinnacle is the exact reason longevity transition would never work and every other airline knows it.

PS. Jamers, sorry if I made it personal. I still have triggers for this kind of stuff.

You make very good points as well. And you are correct, this ties into longevity transition. However, ours is substantially different as we were all under one seniority list. The merger of our lists wasn't decided by the line pilots, and the way it was put together wasn't even put together by a pilot but rather by a lawyer. So much of this career seems to be luck. Nothing we can do about that part. I only applied to and got hired by one regional, and went there because my airline friends told me to so I could upgrade the quickest and get out. Unfortunately I haven't gotten out but I'm trying.

I feel horrible for all of those affected (pretty much everyone at all three airlines) but especially for the MEM guys that made it their home.

You got in the wrong profession. Probably should have gone with sleazy defense lawyer instead.

Isn't it more about the quotas than relative seniority? My understanding is every pinnacle FO was in 50-75% relative seniority after the ISL?
