Ok...did a little research on this whole Pinnacle purchase of Mesaba...From what I heard...Mesaba and Compass are both under the holding company on the same ticket...Now in order for Pinnacle to be able to purchase Mesaba that would have to purchase Compass also...which is not going to happen...at least not yet. Rumor has it that NWA is building up Mesaba and Compass under to same ticket so they can be spun off...again another rumor.
The whole secret meeting that the company and union had this weekend is maybe for our contract...maybe the discussions will open back up. Again...you must wait until an official announcement from the union or the company...
My two cents...ignore everything unless you have written facts. I does however...make a good discussion on the Forums...good day to all
