Noticed in the 1stQ report that we purchased 2 sets of LHR slots. One is for SEA-LHR, what is the other slot for?

Breaking news from the earnings call - Pinnacle is the most efficient/well run commuter airlines in the industry now.

It appears Delta will be unveiling a cash redeployment strategy for shareholders in the first two weeks of May. I assume this means dividends or stock buy-backs. Considering our past experience, I hope we're aiming towards a dividend.

Redeployment into pilot W-2's is OK with me, also...

Didn't help that the analyst actually burst out laughing, as if RA was nuts. It almost made me miss the rest of the comments about the massive reshuffle with fleets/providers on the DCI side.

Maybe he's crazy like a fox.

That was funny. He did say 70 seaters coming in to Pinnacle, now where would those come from?

Stock up 9.5% in an hour or so? Wow.

This might be covered in the next few pages, but the intent of the discussion in the room last week was to get rid of RAW scores altogether (to include the bucket system). It was not to get rid of buckets and go back to just RAW. Big Difference. The idea was to add more seniority into reserve, not less.

And yes, if you give more preference to seniority on reserve, the senior guy has the option to be less accessible, which makes him less productive, requiring more manning.

Again, this will be mostly leveled out when staffing is back to "normal" and seniority will be mostly used to determine WHICH trip, not IF a pilot gets a trip.
