There is a lot of speculation and rumors at this point. Also, nobody knows how things will work out particularly with NWA. But if I were a betting man I'd bet on Pinnacle hiring a lot more than currently projected and acquiring a substantial number of new aircraft.
That's my hunch. You may see spectacularly fast upgrades for those who get hired with a lot of hours to begin with. Then again there may be no Pinnacle months from now. Who knows...
