      <![CDATA[They're not suicidal, but they might be really, really sleepy, working two jobs and whatnot. If an overworked, underpayed Pinnacle pilot falls asleep behind the stick and crashes his plane into your house, how much the pilot gets paid suddenly becomes your business (provided you survive), even if you choose not to fly Pinnacle.

      <![CDATA[It's too bad the pilots' union hasn't been more successful in its dealings with Pinnacle. Maybe ALPA is more concerned with the well-being of its elite (i.e., FedEx) than with its journeyman (i.e., Pinnacle) members.

      <![CDATA[It's not an issue of being suicidal; but if you think those pilots are as experienced or as qualified or as GOOD as the ones who fly for the big boys, you're naive. <br>
BTW I'm glad they are moving downtown for their HQ, and gosh, no, I'm not a communist (what an idiotic statement), but my comment on the fact the Pinnacle pays pilots very low wages is fact.
