Came across this little snippet today:


Delta has agreed to extend Pinnacle’s CRJ200 contract by four and a half years, which means it will be saddled with 145 50-seaters that it takes great pains to declare are uneconomical until 2022.
The end game in 2015 is supposed to be 125 50-seaters.
This would put the Pinnacle CRJ200 operation alone at well over the 125 cap and over the projected timeline by over four years..

Things that make you go Hmmmm

Cheers

A3 No, that rumor is false. Delta will take the first delivery of the 737-900s in late 2013 as planned,
and there is no change to the delivery schedule moving forward.

How about 737-800 slots?


bump...putting my head back in the sand.

So, what you are saying is that pinnacle is the sacrificial lamb. Or are you saying pinnacle is exclusive?

Methinks sacrificial.

That doesn't sound good for ASA and SKW.

They're in bankruptcy. They're the sacrificial lamb.

The first thing that struck me is why Delta would in Pinnacle's Bankruptcy proceedings extend the 50-seater contract from 2015 to 2022.

That leads to thinking Pinnacle is the sacrificial lamb.

If Pinnacle is the sacrificial lamb and their CRJ200 operation is bound to be eliminated, we would go from 343 to 200 CRJ200 just like that.

That's what Mesa did in Bankruptcy, going from 130 to 76 and eliminating all CRJ200 except for the six in Hawaii for go!

Their bankruptcy does not linearly make them sacrificial.

Their DIP financier makes them his beotch.

Hence the question sacrificial or exclusive?

I think sacrificial as a plan B or plan C, but not neccesarily.
