Latest rumors outta MSP. Company does have a bid in for an RFP for 32 CRJ-700s. Who knows if Pinnacle actually wins the bid or not. Hiring by fall rumor is predicated on no new A/C coming aside from ones already guaranteed so IF 700s came to 9E hiring would start sooner. As for attracting people, union rumor is hope the bridge agreement attracts folks as a bonus would not be offered. Supposedly it was tried before at 9E and quickly shot down. That was before my time there so I do not know if that's true or not. Rumors aside...just watching the crap show for all regionals right now!
