Latest pinnacle rumors...
 

Ok so let me give you a break down on the latest rumors (they aren't actually rumors, they will be made known in the very near future).

1. Pinnacle is buying Comair.

2. We will be getting flying for United.

3. We will be flying 900's for NWA out of memphis

4. NWA has relaxed our "cant fly delta planes into NWA base clause"

Let me expound

1. Yeah it sounds crazy but from what i understand is that we have bought comair or will be doing the final paperwork in january. remember i told you guys 2 days before we bought colgan that was happening. i got this information from the same source.. he has a 100% correct record with me.

2. Yes united was here in october and we will be picking up flying for them in the next couple months.

3. NWA has already been talking to us about starting the 900 flying for them, so no suprise there.

4. NWA has relaxed our base clause. This is obvious since beginning February 1st we start flights from ATL-MEM-ATL.

infact here are some of the other cities we will be serving. Cant take credit for all this info since someone already posted it on our message board.

2016 ATL-MEM Depart 8:10pm Arrive 8:35pm
2012 MEM-ATL Depart 6:00am Arrive 8:25am

Then on the 14th of FEB. it changes to :

2029 ATL-MEM Depart 8:00pm Arrive 8:32 pm
2023 MEM-ATL Depart 7:15am Arrive 9:36am

Two flights a day.

ATL-GSP 2013 Depart 1:55pm Arrive 2:55pm
ATL-GSP 2015 Depart 5:05pm Arrive 6:05pm

GSP-ATL 2014 Depart 3:30pm Arrive 4:30pm
GSP-ATL 2016 Depart 6:35pm Arrive 7:35pm

Daily service, once a day.

ATL-XNA 2011 Depart 9:00am Arrive 9:50am
XNA-ATL 2013 Depart 10:25am Arrive 1:20pm

Starting in March.

ATL-STX Flight 2095

pinnacle is going to continue to grow by leaps and bounds while us pilots sit around waiting for our contract. The strike vote is in place and we are just waiting for the mediator to release us.. i wish he would already. uncle phil wants pinnacle to grow, and he will need a good pilot contract to do so.

Those are all runs that SkyWest is currently doing with the -900 for DAL, except STX.

United doesn't need more flying??

I wonder where the money to buy Comair is coming from? Just like the money to buy Colgan.... I always wonder what they are thinking down there on Nonconnah, but it hurts my head when I do so I give up. Just another slap in the face to this pilot group.

My thoughts...

1. Plausible

2. Not likely??

3. Probable

4. True

it wont be new flying...

and like people have said on our message board, we don't want to fly for united... they are probably are the worst company to work with as far as regional flying goes.

I thought Republic is buying us? No, wait... I think Subway is buying us!

They absolutely are...I don't think anybody would debate that.

Your avatar is making me feel kinda funny:o

Wait, I thought it was the owner of the Reds who already purchased us????
