They can't shut us all down. Maybe if the airways/American regional carriers mec's got together they could all stand up together and tell aag to pound sand, therell be no cocessions today. Put those union dues to use other than that lousy magazine. As I've said on here a million times...isn't that the point of a union?

Yes,it is.An alliance between airlines would be nice.I doubt that would ever happen.Most people do not have the stomach for what SHOULD happen,to wit : Compas/Pinnacle/Go Jets would be excluded in everything -no jumpseats,no hiring from there,etc.Companies that vote for paycuts need to be cut off and die on the vine.

I guess that sounded silly. What i was trying to say was that if you fly around the ATL area all you hear from every delta airplane is "Got any ride reports?" "Got any ride reports for the climb?", "How about 320?", "Anything at fl300?".
What i was trying to get at is that the world doesn't revolve around Delta. When i need to get a word in on the radio i have to listen to them go on and on about where the good rides are. People can't check on, someone may need an immediate deviation but noooooooo Delta needs a ride report.
Delta Delta Delta……. Sick of it.
Delta = Negative
When it comes to competing? Why? Why do we have to be at Pinnacle level? Let Delta get what they pay for. Delta isn't the be all end all. They aren't the only airline in the sky. If Airways really wants to compete with them then build an Oil Refinery.

Don't hear much of that on approach, but enroute I rarely hear the frequency saturated.

The Compass contract is in no way concessionary, and our creation isn't suspect, as GoJets is (union busting operation).
Just general commentary for those who may not be familiar with Compass. Don't want anyone assuming that concessions have been voted in or imposed. Still working under the agreement that the Northwest MEC negotiated on our behalf (this occurred before Compass hired its first pilot) in 2007.

Regionals are concessionary by nature. Comair was, and ASA is. Don't pretend that compass is any different. Don't get me wrong. I think compass is probably the prettiest pig at the dance but its still a pig.

Ok well you first said B scale operation, implying it to be comparable to GJ/9E and lumped in with Franks idea of no JS, Hiring Etc. Now it's not. So which one is it? Everyone I know from Pinnacle loves it over there.
