PART II
SECTION F: MESABA-SPECIFIC MATTERS
F1. Will Mesaba’s Profit Sharing program remain intact?
Nothing changes at this time. Profit sharing is for all employees and is defined in the
Collective Bargaining Agreements.
F2. What about the Merit Pay program and AIP program for management?
Nothing changes at this time.
F3. Will Mesaba continue to operate crew bases in MEM, MSP and DTW?
Nothing changes at this time. Any future changes will depend on Delta’s schedule.
F4. Will this announcement affect the Flow Through Agreement with our Pilots?
Mesaba’s contract with Delta stipulated that the Flow Through Agreement is terminated
when Delta sells the airline. It also requires that the parties will meet prior to any
termination for the purpose of discussing whether continuation or modification would be
appropriate. With that in mind, the parties have agreed to honor flow for an interim
period while the parties discuss the possible continuation of flow through.
F5. Will Mesaba continue to provide support services for Regional Elite Airline
Services?
We will continue to provide support services for one year.
F6. Will Mesaba facilities (maintenance hangars, airport offices, etc.) be affected by the
sale?
Nothing changes at this time.
F7. Will General Office employees be retained? If so, for how long?
Mesaba’s headquarters will remain in Eagan for at least two years, although some
management/administrative functions may be relocated to Memphis over time.
Integration teams with representatives from all four parts of our Company – Corporate,
Pinnacle, Colgan and Mesaba – will establish near-term and long-term action items. It is
too soon to speculate on specific functions or timing.
F8. What’s the implication for the back-office functions at Mesaba?
Again, the integration teams will be working to determine the most appropriate
organizational structure to facilitate growth.
SECTION G: CUSTOMER MATTERS
G1. What will this mean for customers?
Nothing will change for customers. All of our aircraft will continue to reflect their current
brands, and no significant schedule changes are anticipated.
