I hate to see any pilot lose their job. Best of luck to everyone at Pinnacle.
That being said, I truly do not believe that Delta would be doing this if they did not feel that they would be successful in the process. Again, good luck to everyone at Pinnacle. I personally know lots of pilots over there!
Airsupport -- you should kick it down a notch just a bit. Noone is pointing fingers at you or trying to rub anything in your face. Good luck, guy. Nevermind, I see you edited your original post.
