But for those interested here is the latest and greatest.

Pinnacle freezing executive pay, planning layoffs : Business News : Memphis Commercial Appeal

Couple of notes.

1st Pay freeze for management. Pilots have been on a pay freeze for the last 5 years

2nd Layoffs. 50 people system wide. i was told by some management people that this does not include pilots and even with all the reductions we are still short on the fo' side according to the guy i talked to.

3rd i dont see anymore displacments coming. especially since like the article stated we are almost at a 50/50 split between captains and fo's after the displacement. you always need a few more captains than fo's due to several reasons including vacation, better schedules, etc etc.
