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.

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.

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!

Scope usually does not involve T-props.
