#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.

Can we rename this thread ShyGuy? I completely applaud the way he hijacked a Pinnacle thread. Bravo, BRAVO!

To bad Shy wasn't like D.B. Cooper , jump out the back door and never look back. Unfortunately, since he seems to be sticking around, I think I'm getting Stockholm syndrome...

I don't know why he wastes his time on things that no longer impact him.

Not at a moments notice, but it only took them about five months to shut down the Colgan ops. If we extrapolate from the 50ish Colgan planes to the 200 remaining ships, it is reasonable to think it would have only taken about a year and a half.

Not when Delta controls you. It was Delta that closed those operations from behind the scenes. Delta already had a lot of flying covered if it was turned down.

Shy even posted on the new Great Lakes thread on this page. Apparently he still has a huge boner for the regionals.

Oh? I didn't know the regional forum was only for regional pilots.
