No, that's the windmills in Texas blowing the stench back up north.

Sounds like your about to walk through our shoes, I don't wish it on anyone but don't be so quick to judge until you walk in them...

The last time I checked most don't make these kinds of decisions based on how it affects YOU! My family comes first not your job/ QOL at where ever you work...

That's right. No airline pilot has ever been forced to make a decision such as you've had too! Simply pathetic. Can you honestly remember a time when a "regional" has taken 20 steps backwards?

But I guess whatever it takes to "feed your family."

You aren't (obviously) but my point is just that at the end of the day, pilots are always self-serving and will do only what benefits them and not the greater good. As the general agreement is, the greater good isn't paying your family bills and mortgage.

I feel like this mentality is new! In the past airline negotiations have always been based upon "industry leading plus 2%" I guess our pathetic "me" generation stereo-type will haunt us forever!

#1 This vote was a difficult one for some reasons you listed, how about taking a HUGE pay cut. Based off the info we had Delta would hold to promise of shutting us down like Comair. End result live to fight another day.

#2 No one wants to lower the bar but if you look at it the Regional industry as a whole we/you/any regional already did against mainline jobs.

#3 Our pilot cost may be lower but total Pinnacle cost is still higher than GoJet.

I'm a bit defensive when you and others compare our vote on crossing picket lines and being spinless. Stop blaming others for your problems.
I truly wish all the best. Good things to come for most pilots In the next few years. Even at Pinnacle.

you just LOVE to fit that word in whenever you can with some passive-aggresive crap and then when called out say "i didn't call you one but it's the same mindset." Get over it already you over use that word totally out of context more than anyone on APC.
