I have no beefs with Pinnacle pilots, just those, such as yourself that bash mainline guys for getting on you for not thinking it is wrong to fly a -900 at such low pay. There's nothing wrong with being a -900 pilot if you think the pay is hogwash. The problem you guys run into is try and put your problems on me as if I was the source of your problems.
Sorry, but all the Pinnacle threads I have become a part of were because someone had complained that Big Bad Delta was taking your high paying -900 flying away. Sorry, but Delta mainline pilots will rejoice that every time it happens. Waaaa Waaaa Waaaa

I second that...I would give anything to see 9E have to sell our 900s to mainline, and XJ giving their 900s back to mainline, and compass giving their 175s to mainline because scope made it to where we couldn't operate them anymore. To any DAL/NWA mainline pilots on these threads...I'll buy you all a case of beer if you somehow get that into scope after the merger...I don't think it's possible, but you guys (esp. at DAL) have some leverage with mgmt b/c of the merger, don't you?

This is the attitude all should bring to work everyday, unless your actually involved in official talks. WX, ATC, Crew Scheduling, Dispatch, Rampies, and Gate Agents make this job too much fun already, yeah lets get worked up about rumors.

)Oh yeah has anyone else noted that Skywest -900 flights have mainline flight numbers attached to them? Like the last CVG-ORD flight today is DL 1995.

Ok..I'll bite. For the record, it would be MUCH better if the 900 was at mainline w/mainline rates. BUT as far as any mainline pilot getting upset at guys flying them at the regional level, that is hogwash. Mainline let the scope be cut. The reason regionals fly 900's today is because mainline pilots allowed it in scope concessions. I am all for mainline getting that back in the next round. Until then, they have no grip for something they themselves caused.

For the record, Compass doesn't own any 175s - NW does. They're not "ours". Same for the -900s I think. The problem is NW (soon to be DAL) giving back the scope, not who owns the A/C. Unfortunately, with every airline trying to save every last dime, I don't see that happening any time in the immediate future.
