I suspect I'd hear a different tune if you were on the other side. I'm not sure why your point of view is so lopsided. I would think as a moderator you'd be more open minded. I agree that Pinnacle's management has been less than stellar, but Delta guided them into banruptcy, and is pulling the strings through the bankruptcy process. Pinnacle's management, as well as others, are like puppets. They do whatever Delta tells them too.Do you think it was a coincidence that Pinnacle got rid if their Saabs and Q 400's that we flew for United and Continental? No, It was a condition for Delta to provide the DIP financing that we fly for no one else. Ask youself what Delta has to gain if Pinnacle is successful in setting a new bottom in the regional indusrty? They get to maximize their profits even more at the expense of others. We are already under paid. And that's going to set off a chain reaction for the rest of DCI to follow. You said youself that you flew a 50 seater for more than what most people make flying 51+ seats. I'd be willing to be that it wasn't as a Delta connection.
