Fact: ALPA National left Pinnacle to twist in the wind, provided no leadership and allowed DAL to concentrate all their forces and funds on a small pilot group. That is unconscionable.
Fact: Pinnacle should have not accepted a deal not required by the BK judge but acted out of fear.
FACT: we should all pitched in for preferential hiring at other properties and let Pinnacle shutter the operation rather than start a race to the bottom for the rest of the industries.
Where to go from here? Start a bidding war for the pilots out there, encourage applicants to go to non bottom feeding operators, push for SLI for large RJ operators. Turn the tables, suck it up and swallow some pride.

Thanks to the United operation? You are in serious denial. That is Delta work only. You can find it too. Go to DeltaNet and look up Delta Connection performance.
Difference of $3 an hour at "year 12". Why do you even have year 18 at a regional anyway? If you are year 12 or more you have failed your family by not securing a real job versus being an at-risk contractor.

Finding a solution to the divisions which destroy careers, longevity and seniority requires looking past individuals one would not want to fly at "their" airline. I take the long view.
The SSP made a mess of things. Do we now have junior pilots with better employment rights than their senior Captains? Will Delta start a flow which excludes a generation ... dead zoners?
I don't know. My humble advice is to use social media in a positive fashion.

You state you are a 900 Captain. IMHO we should be flying something larger than 200's to such a nice city.
Attacking the moderators, cursing ... .
I rather like the moderators and should they choose to do their job we will sure miss you. Enjoy the lake.

something very positive coming is what gumbo said in his latest letter. I bet it's an SSP for everyone including newhires. what they fail to see, is that will not do a damn thing for our huge staffing issues at the present. We all know delta doesnt like flow so what will it be? There will be no flow or B-scale. So they will throw some hail mary in hopes it will help the current staffing problems, and it will fail.
