announced new base is atlanta starting dec 1. flying crj900 for delta. we will also be flying the 900 for delta out of slc and lax in the near future.

Airsupport, where did you hear about SLC and LAX?

thought they were only going to fly about 15 of the 900's for delta, never heard anything close to 30-40

I think he's just starting a new rumor:)

how bout raising the pay instead of lowering minimums.... grow some balls Pinnacle.

Grow some balls Pinnacle? What about the rest of the Regional world? Everybody's mins have dropped.

New contract will be here soon. The pilot group will not give in. One thing that would make negotiations better for all labor groups is an administration that is pro union. Time for a change.

Don't believe anything you hear until its on company letterhead. Management was saying SLC and LAX three weeks ago, then they come out with ATL.

Hi!

I heard they are flying 25 for DAL, and losing 15 for NWA, for a net gain of 10.

The BIG problem, aside from the fact that they can't staff the fleet they have now, is that they're staffed at about 3.0 crews/aircraft. The DAL contract requires 5.0 crews/aircraft for their 25 jets.

Good luck with that!!!

PSA, USA Jet and Mesa? (if not one or more other airlines) also have no published minimum hours.

I have heard that more than 1 regional is actually hiring guys with NO commercial! WHen they pass their -121 checkrides, they are also awarded their commercial.

Ab-initio is next.

NWA is not pulling the planes anymore. They have asked us to fly them through next year. Why pull the planes when Mesaba can't staff them either?
