More critical, is the rate reset for the Delta CR2 fleet that comes in December 2014. We will have to match Pinnacle's rates or else. Reference every single BH update about how we're cutting cost but have a "long" way to go.
Oh, and Delta has told Pinnacle they won't be losing all their CR2s since they "played ball". Coincidence? I tell ya what, they not paying RA $7 mil for nothing. House of Cards.... The Airline Version
I'm curious where you heard all of these CRJ's leave in 2014 & 2015. Yes, 66 need to leave but I believe 11 went to Dallas, 12 went to LAX, 14 leave Atlanta to the desert by December, and the rest come from SkyWest. Our next contract is up in 2015 and is the IAD flying. After that our Delta contracts go until 2020 or later. If we lose anymore it will be because of performance breaking the contract (possible this summer) or we agree to a 2 for one type deal.
I've always believed in the rate reset but called a rep last week to ask some questions about negotiations etc. He said that is just a rumor and scare tactic. Not sure if I believe him.
As of last week Pinnacle will have no CR2's. where did you hear this? I'm guessing a crew room rumor.
