yea but who can keep a/c with no homes? they will lease them back to DL or DL will just exercise the options they have for more.

 

Hopefully I'm won't regret saying this later on down the road, but thank God, finally, it's not bad news for us at Comair!

 

Oh just you wait!

"Dave Soper is returning to the line!"
"FMS being taken out and sold to pawn shops to save money!"
"Pilots all fired in favor of lighter, more fuel efficient jockey sized pilots!"
"MESA buys Comair, sticks it to Delta!"


It is a nice change of pace though....

 

Well what do you expect when you have 8 different regionals all clustered together. That can't be efficient for anyone. I remember looking on Travelnet to go from ATL to Houston, and all 5 or 6 flights are operated by a different carrier. ASA, then mainline, then Pinnacle, then Shuttle, then another ASA, then Skywest or something like that. So thats 5 different carriers doing one route for Delta in a day. How can that be efficient? I think DL is actually realizing that cheapest isn't always better and we at Comair actually run a pretty decent ship.

 

Go Comair! Rah! Rah! Rah!

lol had to!

 

Apparently SkyWest will cover the PNCL flying out of ATL. What a surprise... not!

 

Where did you see this?

 

Yeah, where did you see this.

 

I read it on another board. Makes sense to me, since OO is already flying the CR9 in/out of ATL. Hell, they are even flying CRJ200s now in out of ATL.

 

This is off DLNET:

We have notified Pinnacle Airlines of our election to terminate its Delta Connection contract effective July 31 because of performance. We expect the operational pull down to be orderly and have minimal impact to our customers.
“Our customers rely on Delta and Delta Connection carriers for outstanding service, and we will continue to insist on that level of performance from our business partners,” said Don Bornhorst, s.v.p.-Delta Connection. “Pinnacle’s operational performance has fallen below minimum levels required under the contract. Today, it’s more important than ever that Delta and its Delta Connection partners meet operational and customer service levels.”
We have an agreement with Pinnacle to operate 16 CRJ-900 aircraft, nine of which are in service. We’ll choose another connection carrier to operate the former Pinnacle routes.
Pinnacle has operated as a Delta Connection carrier since December 2007.
