2. Pinnacle (with the exception of Delta Connection operation) is a pure 50 seater operator. Does the conctract give you the option to replace those 50 seaters for 76 seaters? YES. Have NW even mention the possiblity of giving PNCL 900s? NO. They might in the future, but for now 50 seaters got to go, and I don't think they will be able to replace them in a short term with 129 900s....
3. There's a 10 year contract, but I wonder........what's going to happen with that contract if we strike?

I don't want to sound all negative, but I think is time to look at the signs too. Rough times ahead......
