They are just mad because Colgan expanded at the expense of Pinnalce and thier pilots. If they (9E management) were straight shooters they would have added the Q's to our list and went after a Continental ASA. They took the much easier route, and gave themselves a great way to whipsaw us. Our new contract won't allow the whipsaw to happen (hopefully), but realize that all your recent hiring was a direct result of Pinnacle Corp throwing money at your operation that should have gone to us.

The blame isn't on you, the Colgan pilots. But there will always be some resentment hanigng in the air over those Q400s.
