Then the company was going to rename Colgan Mesaba. The jets were placed on the Pinnacle certificate in Jan and the Mesaba certificate went away. There hadn't been any talk about the renaming of the Colgan certificate since December. Yesterday the company filed bankruptcy and all of the Colgan aircraft are being returned to lessors and the certificate will go away when the last Q is returned in December.
