This is purely my own opinion

I just wanted to take time to question management and thier claims that we will be recieving 15 more Q400's in early 2010.

- If we are why havent there been any official announcements made to the public other than the anti alpa propaganda that the company sends around to us.

-Continental just released a revised copy of thier fleet for the upcoming years and no mention of any additional Q400's can be seen.

-Pinnacle (the company we really work for) has stated that there will be no more purchases till a code share has been announced (which there hasnt).

-There are no new hire Q400 classes expect the rumors of hiring to begin.

-Every few months we hear of a rumor about more planes that never seems to go anywhere.

Now i do hope that we recieve new planes down the road but i am beginning to feel that the supposed "15 more Q's" and going to be used against us if/when the alpa vote is passed. I do hope i am wrong but I just find it very odd that there is no announcement by any major carrier, maybe we will pull an expressjet and operate the Q's for oursleves.
