Rumors will run, I love how you are so behind this rumor and it's still the morning after they filled. When AA filled and said they were parking the ATRs in DFW, the rumor how Pinnacle was going to fly the Q400 for AA in DFW, look at it 4 months later Pinnacle is in bankruptcy and saying that it will park all of it's Q400 by November!

Guys you always just take pilot cost into account, but please understand that there is more to the picture. No offense to the Colgan guys, but Colgan before being purchased by Pinnacle operated just like Silver.... As cheap as it gets, and were unable to maintain the business format. The pay between Colgan and Silver is comparable. You guys think that you could do it cheaper and your management might enter into a code share or a contract with United but all put you at risk, you will absorb all the risk. Your management it's force to do this because if EAS routes are likely to decrease in the future. United, Delta, US AIrways and AMR are abandoning certain EAS routes because it's not const effective or generating the revenue. These airlines are also looking at parking smaller aircraft, these SF340 you guys are flying came from Eagle to Colgan and now to Silver.
