pinnacle getting united flying was part of my whats going to happen in 2008 at pinnacle predictions. united was in memphis last november touring our facilities. if we get more flying and no new contract i will not be a happy camper. we dont need more flying. what we need is a contract that is less than 8 years old.

this may be the extra flying comair was speaking about.

Do you have more information about it?
Uh, I think that would be pretty cool.

i am not sure if this would be the more flying comair is hoping for. i dont know how comairs deal with delta goes, but i seriously doubt delta will let their wholly owned regional airline go do flying for united.

It's income for Delta, ain't it? Crazier (and dumber) things have happened.

Our CEO said that DL had OK'd us putting in bids for other carriers in a conference call a few months back. UAL was the one that Comair was "very hopeful and optimistic" about getting.

Who knows..we shall see

I am going to say no. The only thing United would need lift for is to replace Mesa (and that won't happen until Mesa is in Ch. 11 (end of June) or they close (end of the year)).

And please, I hate it when I hear 86 seat rumors, Q-400 rumors, and EMB-190 rumors for companies that have 70 seat scope clauses. Shut up, it will not happen!

Mesa's UA operations are horrendous and have been that way for quite some time. There are bids out there to take over Mesa's flying. Oh and the Q400 can be configured to 68-70 seats per Bombardier.

That is true. As long as we don't compete with DL on a specific route(i.e CVG-IAD or ORD-JFK) we have their full blessing. We already do a bunch of UA Express ground services.

Scope usually does not involve T-props.
