Let me see if I understand this correct. Pinnacle bid to fly the 900's at a loss, and now they are going away. So Delta has bid that's lower than that?
Ah, Chief, they aren't talking about the 9E -900s. Those 16 are dead. Look at the numbers again. 140 out of 181 are CRJ-200s, which means the rest in the end game are the 41 original Mesaba -900s. They are super senior, with many lifers. Spandex is saying that those -900 rates and seniority cannot compete with GoJets and Compass.
