It's great if 200 50 seaters left the DCI property. Whats not so great is when they are replaced by 100 76 seat aircraft that parks 100 aircraft at the mainline.
Nu
Yup!
How's this for a start...
If Pinnacle goes bankrupt I say lets fly the 76 seat Jets Delta owns at mainline.
Pinnacle DOES own 14 of their own 76 seat Jets. Delta owns the rest.
(bring the pilots over with a flow through-the pilots that don't want to come over can take their chances with Pinnacle)
I'm serious.
