Default Pinnacle news this week....

so there i was enjoying my days off, cooking on the grill when i got a call from my buddy. you wont believe what he told me has just happened. some people will be glad and others will be mad. since people on here hate it when i post my "rumors" (wich end up being true ie this is the guy who told me about us buying colgan and the delta flying), i want to see if you other pinnacle guys have heard what i am talking about. and trust me if you have heard it then you KNOW what i am talking about!!!

What? That you are finally merging with Colgan and stapling all the Colgan new hires in the past year below you guys? Finally the whipsawing stops... I hope

Are they really going to let you try and upgrade?

J/K... drop me a PM. I am interested WHICH rumor this is you are referring to. I have a few that I have heard from some "In the know" people as of late.

haha. no, i just find what i was told hard to believe. he called me a couple of days ago and i have been reluctant to put anything on here. but he is so sure of it that i just wanted to see if anyone else has heard it.

a few of the 9E rumors over the last several years.....
1. We are buying Comair to solve our pilot shortage.
2. We are getting -900's and flying them for NWA next year (every year since 2000)
3. David White is on a slimfast commercial for losing 200 lbs
4. We hired two ex-Fedex guys for management, therefore they are FDX spies and FDX wants to buy us...
5. We are going to finally start hiring our FA's from the local "gentlemen's clubs" again...


personally I hope the number 5 rumor is the case....
