I'll never underestimate the power of the -200 again. We got to FL300 last night before the TOD on a 2 hour flight. Amazing. Unbelievable in fact. The power of the -200 had me climbing at an amazing 500-600 fpm out of FL200. I don't know of any other airframes that achieve this staggering power and climb performance.

The next time Delta, AA, United, or anyone else offers "their own" regional pilots a $hi+ deal i suggest you simply vote no. I am pretty sure pinnacle pilots voted in their contract.

Trust me gojo I care about you more than your own mainline partner. This is management vs labor not pinnacle vs Air Wisconsin.It's not your flying, it's not mine it's theirs. I just wont do their flying unless they pay me what I want. You make your own decisions. We have the leverage it just takes people to stand together and say NO. I don't want to her the " they were going to close us down" story either. Life is a poker game and we have the nut flush. Lets put them all in.

Fl451,

Kind of like voting for getting shot in the knee or getting shot in the foot. No one wants either, but one is a slightly better choice.

So you did not comprehend anything I said?

Let me translate. The reason we have crap contracts is because people take crap. Stap taking crap.

ZW is safe. They wouldn't buy 9E. They'd get nothing but pilots whom would all get a substantial raise. SKW got the first of 9E -200s on OCT 22. Tail 8903A. Endeavor currently has staffing for about 40 of them. They have about 85 left. Doesn't seem too hard to liquidate 45 shells.

Bottom line with all this shell shuffling, no new entry level pilots, there won't be pilots staffing any regional jets real soon. I think the vast majority of regionals will very soon not be able to staff their planes. Namely PSA.

I have to say to anyone thinking this is the Pinnacle pilots fault your a fool and don't understand how the system is rigged for the rich Capitalist extremists.

We voted to eat crap, drink urine or let a judge decide for us. What would you do?

Glad you finally joined the party! Did you see the Decemeber DTW and MSP captain lines on FLiCA... they look pretty good. Maybe my juniority at AWAC will finally move in the right direction as Senior guys migrate back to the midwest!

I dunno. Didn't see those MSP or DTW lines. I'll go back to the Midwest if it looks right. My lease runs through Sept. 12, 2015 so there's no hurry. We'll see what happens.

I'll believe these rumors when there's an official announcement. Not before. Too much disappointment otherwise. But it does seem like something's afoot, what with all the hiring and meetings going on.
