Maybe MAIR will buy you and then you can really have fun...By the way stop blocking the alley's in DTW or anywhere else for that matter.
funny cause there was a saab yesturday brokedown in the alley way holding everyone up... dont you guys wait till the engines are started to disconnect the tug??? had to wait for ever for someone to haul that saab back because everyone knows that mesaba ground personel in dtw and msp suck and are the worst ground workers in the system.. i mean come on, waiting 30 min infront of the gate just to be parked is a joke.
nwa is not removing any aircraft from the fleet, the sept schedules are out, the fleet size is published, aircraft bases and locations are all out, and everyplane is accounted for. supposed to start pulling in sept right? not happening. if we don't fly them becuase of lack of staff we pay penalties to nwa. if you dont fly them because of a lack of staff,, well then nwa just loses out and gets nothing and the planes aren't flying.

Take a look at the ASA:
"Northwest may remove one aircraft for every two aircraft that Pinnacle operates for another partner above an initial base of 20 regional jets. Northwest may remove no more than 20 aircraft subject to this option and no more than five aircraft in any 12-month period."
Yeah because you guys don't do it pushing off the "C" gates, or trying to come in the back way with those 900's
this is all correct. sigep hasn't read the contract completely or he didnt understand it. what he is thinking is that if nwa wanted to give us 900's they could exchange them for 200's on a 1 for 1 bases.
there will be a net gain in planes, on the numbers i have seen i figure we will have 172 planes on property (delta and nwa) by the end of next year.
