I hope it works out for you guys, I know back in the "Continental Express" days a lot of guys got screwed but who knows about this deal, it very well may work out great, or not, only time will tell. As far as I am concerned if you're good enough to fly Delta passengers on a CRJ for PNCL, you are good enough to do it in a Dal 737 etc.......
I do wonder about Richard Anderson though, he was Lorenzo's lawyer so I wouldn't exactly call him a "friend of labor" or a friend of PNCL.
Either way, good luck! I personally don't think PNCL is in a bad spot
