Can you be more specific about the fence ?

The March 31st deadline before NWA can take planes away at a rate of 3 per month if we dont have a contract is 11 days away, it looks like we are going to see if NWA is bluffing or not. Even if we lose those 17 planes, that would probably just bring us back to normal staffing. My question is, where would NWA even put those planes.

Mesaba ??? Not that it would be best, just is it possible ?

This contract is all going to depend on how this week of talks go. I believe if they can come to an understanding this week, the contract will be done before the middle of April. IF they hit a road block, it could be a long time.
We will know if Pinnacle is slotted to get some flying in the near future becuase when Pinnacle management needs a contract for something, they will get one . . .

If they get other airlines business, will it still be NWAIRLINK ?

and that could be good for us pilots in the next couple of weeks.
