Pinnacle Informational picket
 
Thanks to everyone that was there from other airlines. We had well over 200 pilots right in front of managements office. We sent a strong message today, and the message needs to be sent on to all pinnacle pilots and other alpa regionals. We need to be ready to risk striking and shuting the place down to protect what we need in a FAIR contract.

Hang in there and stand tall guys and gals! Fight the good fight, and help us take back our industry! Best of luck!

Family need before corporate greed.

Best of luck to all of you at Pinnacle!

I hope that you guys (and every other regional that has taken it on the chin recently) stand tall and fight hard when it's time to negotiate.

I believe that we have to stop thinking like that, someone has to stop the race to the bottom, someone has to put pride back into the union. Our management is not just going to bend over and say ok here is your contract, we are going to have to make sacrifices to get what we want, and that may mean losing some of our airplanes. I am proud of Pinnacle's MEC for not giving in, I have confidence that they will continue.

If nothing else the number one reason we should strike is so they can't create a second certificate without us being able to fly on it.

We will not allow GO JET 2 to be created.

Giant Inflatable Rat = Phil Trenary

In my three weeks with Pinnacle, I met that guy twice- both times he came across as a condescending a$$hat. More power to the pilot group over there for not letting management butt rape you sans lube.
