All I got to say is that Pinnacle is not in good shape. Only 50 seaters in the NW side, and only a few 900 (not doing so well) in the Delta side. On time performance this year in the pooper, a strike knocking on the door and at the bottom of the priority list of NW. NW will be busy with their own babies, Mesaba and Compass. Wish us luck !

Why do you hope Compass is sold to RAH. I bet you want the pilots to get stapled right?
Compass will not be sold the chances are Mesaba and Compass will merge. Mesaba's 200 will go away and it will be a 3 aircraft airline with no 50 seaters. It will probably have 90 76 seat A/C and 50 SF340.

And let it not be forgotten that our leader as he may be has ties to NWA.... first he was the ceo of Mesaba at one point so has worked with NWA in the past.... 2nd His father in law is on the BOD at NWA.... and third rumor those Compass E175 slots were purchased from ...yep... you guessed it....... RAH. Flame away.

All should remain as they are. There will be no merging of the regionals. The new Delta will need all 11 of the regional airline partners.
All of the following airlines will have absolutely no disruption.
Comair
Skywest
ASA
ExpressJet
Mesa
Mesaba
Pinnacle
Colgan
Chautauqua
Shuttle America
Compass
Taxes will fall to only 5 percent of earnings, world hunger will end, and Oprah will keep the weight off.
You can now go back to your regularly scheduled program.

Good luck to all. This next year or two should prove to be very interesting to say the least.

it is merely a creation, in my opinion, as a bargaining tool to get around scope clauses.
take a little from pilots now and a little more later.
it was created to eventually allow 70+ seats on property that aren't flown by the big boys
i am at RAH and i feel compass would come here before it gets merged with mesaba.

From: Left seat, wait right seat, no no left seat, nope right seat! Ummmm, I guess I am confused
I just can't wait to get my new Comsabaconnectlink uniform!! I wonder what the colors will be--maybe blue with black and alternating gold and silver stripes???
I am just glad to have a little senority on the mighty Saabomatic as it will be an interesting year or two.

I really don't how these should be affected other then being painted Delta Connection colors. I would want as many regionals flying for me as possible so that no one feeder company has control. I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

You guys can put your crystal balls down; I'm here to tell you what will happen:
After NWA & DAL merge, I will buy Compass. After taking the seats out of their airplanes, it'll be time for a demolition derby in the 30 pad at IAD! A $395 entry fee will get you in the cockpit with the chance to win $1K in prize money if you're the champion.
