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.

2. At some point the transfer of Pinnacle CRJ900s to Express Jet will be halted.

3. Pinnacle will become an all CRJ900 company and will receive additional 900s from the Delta purchase.

4. Delta will establish a flow through program with Pinnacle.

5. Pinnacle will be moved to MSP.

IMHO - They will grant wavers "in the flow" for no college degree, etc. Imagine bypassing a 10,00 hr CRJ900 Captain because he does not have a BA in Underwater Basket Weaving. Supply and demand will dictate what waivers are granted.

I'll still go "way out on the limb" and predict that if the TA is passed, Delta will purchase Pinnacle. (probably for less money then they got for Mesaba )


Batting average is improving.
