Timing coincidence ??? Is Delta getting rid of turboprobs or just the SAABS ?
Pinnacle CORP has the Q's not Pinnacle Inc. Pinnacle Inc flies for daddy Delta, Pinnacle Corp(colgan) flies for Continental. So yes, Delta is getting rid of turboprops, as pinnacle corp has nothing to do with Delta. Continental is gaining turboprops. It just says Pinnacle Corp might also market Q's to another airline, not necessarily delta...
