It was pushed back to 2015 I believe. I'll find it.

Didnt know that, thanks.

Some RAH guys have posted the BB part in various threads lately... Apparently he said that in a memo.

Pinnacle had the same rate-reset. However it was supposed to be a reset to offset the increase of Pinnacle's ALPA Contract 2010.

Look how that happened. Delta went in and drove PNCL to BK and got exactly what they wanted.

People will vote anything to hang onto that coveted left seat. FOs at least can say eff this, I'm outta here. The stockholm syndrome FOs voted yes though.

Pinnacle drove itself into bankruptcy through mismanagement. Stop blaming Delta. Why should Delta pay to retrain BOS-based Colgan pilots flying US Airways Express aircraft to go fly a Q400 aircraft for United Express? Delta has no interest in paying to keep their competition going.

Yeah seriously guys! Its not like delta could withhold millions of dollars, or intentionally give pinnacle something they couldn't handle.

Doesn't Delta do this on a daily basis for SkyWest, Republic and GoJet? A pay reset is different than indirectly supporting the competitor. The money Delta pays SkyWest is going to buy those new airplanes that SW will be flying for United. Not sure if it's as cut and dry as you say it is.

Yes it was. 9E was so understaffed, Menke cancelled the BOS flying for US Airways Express to better staff the rest of the operation with those pilots. Delta shouldn't pay for incompetence and reshuffling their competition. They agrees to lay training costs, but for pilots going TO the Delta Connection banner. Not to their competitor. Sorry, but it was 9Es managament and the SLI award with it's conditions that screwed 9E into BK.

I would just like to say welcome back from your trip shy. Was it vacation or just a busy trip? :D
