This is just speculation. There is no evidence to support these claims.
There is even a Delta attorney at the negotiations observing so that things like these are being dealt with.
That is the same attorney that has presided over the Pinnacle negotiations since late 2008. He is retained by Pinnacle Corp.
I keep talking about leverage. In speaking to my reps and the communications we get, the leverage won't come just from the MEC's. But with Delta and Continental unhappy, the Delta attorney present, and the constant under staffing...this is where the pressure is coming from.
Delta is no less happy with Pinnacle than they usually are. Our performance, while it has slipped over this year, is still better than some other DCI carriers. I can't speak for whats going on with Colgan performance.
