Things to remember:

If you hear something from a pilot... its probably not true.

If you hear something in the schoolhouse... its almost definately not true.

At Pinnacle the Director of Standards (i think) FF came in (to the schoolhouse) and said we will definately be operating for Delta out of LAX and SLC. Now look at where we are in ATL...
Moral of the story... even higher ups at the regionals don't know shiot.
No one, espicially anyone who has the time to post on here knows what is happening... espicially if it came from the schoolhouse.
