From what people are guessing its someone out of DTW. Everyone in a big damn hurry to tell each other what they know and how much in the know they are, destroys what little trust there is already.

A birdy told me in the crew room versus hey a rep told me so I'll tell all you on the interwebz? I know the MEC and a few reps I've asked aren't happy about it, but I suppose it could all be some political gamesmanship. Who knows. It looks like amateur hour from this side of the computer.

The investors are restless.

At the meeting, we alerted the Pinnacle representatives to the current outrage among stockholders due to the following:
-- 93% drop in Pinnacle's market value (currently at $24mm) since January 1, 2007.
-- Non-performing capital investments of $173mm since January 1, 2007.
-- A mere 1.09% share ownership by the eight non-employee Directors.
-- Virtually no shares purchased in the open market by Board members in the last 5 years.
-- Outsized board compensation vs. market value, compared to peers.
-- Corporate bylaws designed to entrench current board members.
-- Lack of transparent communications with stockholders.

Someone should tell these investors that Menke signs his letters Sean. Where was all this outrage when Phildo-the-dildo was running the company into the ground? Did the Board put up this poor clown Sean up as a goat to be burnt?

O well.
 
-- Outsized board compensation vs. market value, compared to peers.
-- Corporate bylaws designed to entrench current board members.
-- Lack of transparent communications with stockholders.

I did find these 3 of particular interest. Simply the best.
 
Someone on APC said they saw the CEO of skywest at our headquarters last week. Can anyone else confirm this? Seems to me like more than one person would have seen him and the way rumors go it would have been all over the place.
 
It was actually Southwest's CEO, I got to meet him. They both look very much alike. Good things are in the works boys, good things.

The Avro's are coming back.

We are not suppose to be wearing the black.

We aren't suppose to be wearing the black. We aren't. Promise. If I saved any of the stupid crew track messages instead of deleting them I would post it from whoever it is that's in charge of uniform apparel.

PS. In fact, there isn't even a pretend date set anymore. "sometime in march" was our last update.

Okay, 'cause when you said "We're supposed to be wearing them since Jan 4th," it sounded like guys were just saying "Not gonna do it." Now that you're mentioning CrewTrac, it makes sense.

Tram, there's no way you can make pants last 6 years. Sadly, I've hit that mark and then some. I'm guessing you took what uniform pieces you had left and had a bonfire in your backyard. :)

My beef is with the guys that have come over to Pinnacle and still wear the XJ or Colgan uniform or (worse) a mix and match of the two. It's a common sight in JFK, and it makes us look more of a shady operation than we already do.

Yep. And United, Alaska and Horizon people have all been spotted at HQ, too. Nothing's come of any of that.....
 
Hey, we'll be donning the black soon enough. Unless they delay it again.

I wonder if I know any of the guys, a couple have been furious at the training department for the attitude that got shoved in their face time and time again, makes me wonder if they aren't doing that passive aggressive thing pilots sometimes do.

My beef is with company for not fulfilling their obligation. If the company would just issue things like black rain coats and would have made sure all the uniforms show up by a certain date. Then they could have had every one go to one uniform after that date. Unfortunatly the mismatched uniforms are a metaphor of the organzation that has went(is going) on at this company. Once I go black I'm not going back.......:rolleyes:


1. A Pilot is required to have one (1) complete initial uniform. The complete initial
uniform will consist of the following items:
a. one (1) jacket with braid;
b. two (2) trousers;
c. two (2) ties;
d. four (4) shirts and one (1) set of epaulets; and
e. one (1) raincoat with liner.




J. The Company will consider the recommendations of the Association before making any

change in the style, color or material of uniforms. Should the Company initiate a change

in the style or color of the uniform, the Company agrees to absorb all costs associated

with the change.

A few pilots here are buying the Leather Jacket, but I don't think you'll see many people buying the black overcoat. One guy did get a wool one because he thought it would look professional. That's fine, he has the money to spend, great for him. If I can find something reasonable for a black overcoat I will but for now - especially as little as I use the trenchcoat - I'll be using the blue one. I'd like to get away from using it all together, but the moment I say that I'll be on the -200 doing 9 legs a day in the rain. Tough ta-ta's then, it'll be mismatched and that's just the way it is.
