I will go out (way out) on a limb and predict:
1. The pinnacle bankruptcy preceding will be settled quickly with minor impact on pilot pay and benefits. Obviously furloughs have a major impact on some however "the Bridge Agreement provides for furlough benefits packages that include pay, health care, passes, and an ATP for those with the requisite number of hours."
2. At some point the transfer of pinnacle crj900s to express jet will be halted. Depends upon the TA vote.
3. Pinnacle will become an all crj900 company and will receive additional 900s from the delta purchase. I interpret 81 as a minimum. " our airline will consist of at least 81 CRJ 900 aircraft."
4. Delta will establish a flow through program with pinnacle. "The Bridge Agreement also provides all Pinnacle pilots on the ISL with a career path to Delta."
5. Pinnacle will be moved to MSP.
I'm close to batting three out of five but realize a rejection Vote could change everything.
