Agreed. Mike Colgan is the "sales rep" for Pinnacle Corp now. His job is basically to go out and source new flying wherever he can find it. The colgan family still owns the rights to certain US Airways routes out of LGA and basically leases them back to Airways. They also own the rights to gates all over the northeast. Don't ask me how it works, but that family has fingers in everything. Pure speculation here, but it wouldn't be a stretch to think he resecured the flying for Mesaba on behalf of pinnacle Corp. I know that on the united side, we have been looking at picking up new routes out of iad to some other eas cities and existing united cities, but we have never had the airframes or manpower. I would bet that mesaba will secure more Saab flying in the near future via mike colgan. He was awarded a boatload of pncl stock when they sold colgan, so it's in his best intrest to secure more flying for mesaba. He needs to buy his wife another 7 series Beamer. Even after they sold the company, the colgans are still making money on us lol
