strike 2, that tactic has already been tried here
……Pre Endeavor, Pinnacle was Express I. Their logo was a Phoenix, and had the ThunderChicken on the pilot wings. Now they are dead again.

This all sounds great, but as an 8 year FO I'm still on reserve and not a dime of extra cash has made it to my pocket (it will eventually). The company didn't do anything extra for me when I needed time off for a family member having open heart surgery because they can't (staffing) but I expect I'll hear the same line again this year during recurrent about how they'll help us out. They did whats required by law, nothing more. Thats fine, just stop with the line of BS about how altruistic endeavor is. I've worked at three different regionals over the past 11 years. Endeavor is nothing special.

Not sure what your deal is. But if I bought a Harley back when AMF owned them and it was a POS, that would not mean I wouldn't buy one today. Things change. Your unwillingness to step out of the past and do some simple research before you speak tells me you have a closed mind, and hang on to bitterness. That $hit will eat you up

Yeah, in the current system, however, the 200's we are getting back are going back to places we abandoned when fuel prices were too high. Keep in mind DCI is paying almost a dollar less per gallon for fuel since DCI isn't hedged.
Furthermore, management tells you what you want to hear, this is an airline for God sakes. You have to watch their actions.

Au contraire- every last thing RA said in that meeting (including things we didn't want to hear, such as the parking of the 744s staying on schedule) has come to fruition (757s, 717s, Shanghai, and other stuff that hasn't been announced yet). Why would he gloss over this one while being frank with us on everything else?
Because you don't understand Mesabah is a CEO and knows more then all of us. DCI makes all the money and mainline just barely squeaks by. He posts on the interal message board and has it all figured out. We will be lucky to know as much as him. Scope is limited to 125 50 seaters but that doesn't mean anything to him.

I"m far from bitter and have have left that negativity in the cockpit where I found it in the legacy Pinnacle cockpit.. I'm a captain at my current airline making more than the lame and short term bonus you guys are getting in the next few years. I'd still be an 8 year FO there so the fact that people are crazy enough to consider 9E as a newbie makes me want to help them avoid it at all costs. I can say how bad a place is (I still have several friends there who tell me how is) and not be bitter about it. Facts are Facts...all emotion aside.
