Straight from the words of BH himself
"Pinnacle is planning action to retain its contract, but this move by Delta further emphasizes the need for us to stay on top of our performance and continue building on the foundation you’ve strengthened since last fall. While our contract with Delta is different than Pinnacle’s and Mesa’s, it’s more critical than ever that we show Delta our commitment to customer service excellence in a cost-effective way. We’ve just come off of two consecutive months of beating both our on-time and completion factor goals, and we are currently ahead of both goals so far in June."
Slightly different than your version. Also what if the contracts were dramatically different and ASA's on time perf requirements were different? Are you the almighty contract holder and know exactly what it says?, Just curious because I fly for them and I have no clue. And another thing about on-time and completion factor #'s and ASA's comparison to any other carrier that operates out of ATL. How can you compare #'s when ASA operates ALL of there flying from ATL which is almost 1000 flights a day opposed to maybe 50-100 flights a day (im not actually sure what Pinnacle or any other DCI operates). There is a big difference when Deltas ground ops (since ASA has no ground ops in ATL) messes something up and causes a domino effect. I could fully understand if their contracts were written differently. FYI

easy little one. read my other post and you will see where i was getting my information.
so i will clarify so you dont get your panties in a wad.
MY FRIEND SAID AT THE OFFICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE GETTING CONCERNED WITH THE CANCELLATION OF PINNACLES AND MESAS CONTRACT BECAUSE OF PERFORMANCE ISSUES. THEY GET THE NUMBERS REAL TIME IN THE OFFICE AND ALL OF THEM KNEW THAT THEY WERE BETTER THAN MESA BUT NOT ALWAYS BETTER THAN PINNACLE. SO THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE THINKING THEY WERE NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. SO THE CEO SENT OUT THE EMAIL TO CALM EVERYONE DOWN AND SAY THAT THE CONTRACT THEY HAVE WITH DELTA IS DIFFERENT AND ISN'T AS ON TIME PERFORMCE BASED AS PINNACLE'S WAS.
