The first location they're closing is the Mesaba hangar and moving all the MX to the bigger Pinnacle hangar. That makes sense to me.

The second "location" is that the Mesaba pilots and flight attendants will become Pinnacle pilots and flight attendants. That also makes sense to me.

I suggest reading the details of the article before freaking out and posting on here. All of this was known before and is part of any merger. Plus, no jobs are leaving the area. The last time I talked to the Mesaba mechanics, most were getting job offers at Delta and leaving regardless of what happens.
