Guys, stop bickering. You are both good guys caught up in the grips of greedy airline management tactics. Pinnacle management sucks but then from what I hear, so did Mesaba few years ago. We need to support each other, not tear each other apart. I've met pinnacle pilots and they are bunch of great people just like Mesaba pilots. Right now, pinnacle guys are going through some rough times, so let's be supportive.

My prediction is that if NWA merges with DAL, Pinnacle will wind up getting additional NWA domestic flights along with Mesaba and Compass. That is alomost certain. This means, reduction of 50 seat RJs and more 76 seat RJs for the short haul and then who knows.
