Pinnacle bit off more than they could chew mby buying Mesaba and Colgan. DAL knew it, and encouraged it. DAL swooped in and gained control in the bk. This whole thing was a nod, nod, wink, wink of criminal proportions. And the best part is management has the PILOTS fighting each other over it! Brilliant move.

Stop it!

Now back to the point. DO NOT accept a concessionary deal! "We 'might' get 900 growth if you just take a big enough pay cut"? Never (ever, ever, ever) has that promise come true. Don't do it! I hope you guys give DAL management the middle finger and dare them to shut you down. We have jobs for all of you at ExpressJet, and mainline will be hiring insane numbers in the next 5 years. All is not lost.
