I don't think the other 2 airlines (which is now one airline with the fenced operation) should have to take any hits for the cuts of Colgan. Mesaba's Saab cuts were able to be absorbed without anyone being furloughed. But if one Pinnacle or Mesaba pilot gets furloughed as a result of Colgan aircraft being parked, then this whole thing will be a real sham.


I agree that I can't think of a past precedent, but never say never. Your other comments about the union will never agree with it will not matter, because in BK management will file motion 1113e and the union's wants aren't really binding. Same with ALPA national, and there will be no illegal strike unless you're willing to be fined, fired, or jailed.
Wychor said last night the company willfully admits they don't meet the criteria for an 1113e.
