I want everyone to read this. Everyone calls Pinnacle a bottom feeder and that we are always trying to steal everyone's flying. I have rarely ever seen a pinnacle pilot celebrate on here at another regionals expense. Yet we see stuff like this. Pinnacle has never taken anyones flying, all 124 of our crj 200's were new aircraft and all 16 of our 900's are new airplanes. We might have taken over some routes of ASA mesaba or NWA in the past, but not planes. Regardless its not our deicision anyways. So ASA guys, I am sorry we are in your home territory but please remember that managers make the decisions, not pilots so try supporting us instead of trying to get rid of us.

Please remember this comment if and when you see Comair and ASA aircraft in DTW and MSP flying traditional Pinnacle and Mesaba routes.

Im not to worried about it, infact i expect comair to be in dtw post merger, operating mostly 900's out of the base. Delta is doing an excellent job getting everyone to perform better by leaking all of these fake rumours.

you couldn't have put it any better...

As was once stated by another poster in another related thread, the only people who know who is getting what (if anyone even knows that at this point) are the people high enough up that have signed non-disclosure agreements. My bro is a mid-level manager at a huge US corporation, and even though his company's products have virtually no competition, the first day he started work he had to sign nda's out the wazoo saying he wouldn't release any sensitive confidential info.

Think about it...do you think DAL wants it's competitors knowing what cities it's going to build up and take down? There was an article in the news today about competitors eyeing MSP build-ups if Delta were to decrease flying out of there...the same goes for all bases...DAL doesn't want AA and SWA and whoever else knowing where it's going to put what...b/c those companies could then jump the gun and start forumlating strategy around the new bases.

everyone is getting worked up over an obviously made up rumor. he started this thread after making that post in the pinnacle thread. i don't know if he is getting displaced, furloughed, or what. but he is blaming the pinnacle pilots because our management was able to secure a deal with delta. there is absolutly no truth to what was posted. there was no meeting. in one thread he post how his job sucks and pinnacle is ruining it, and in another he posts a supposed rumor about asa moving into a pinnacle base and taking their flying?? give me a break.

if thats what big daddy delta has in mind, what can i do about it? hate the pilots who are doing their jobs? or be mad at the guy who made the decision. please remember that if and when pinnacle moves in to fly traditional asa/skywest/comair routes.

Funny cause the rumor I have heard the most is that MEM will shrink drastically... maybe they want ASA to be isolated to a shrinking base and have 9E take over Atlanta...

wow. you are so anti pinnacle that you have to start a whole new thread that is total bs because someone wrote a good thread about pinnacle in ATL that was factual. amazing! that truly is the most amazingly immature flame bait i've ever seen on here. Hiding on an anonymous forum really makes you feel like a man, doesn't it?

hahahaha right! hmmm ASAs contract is to have 80% of all DCI traffic out of atlanta. Dream on man. I work for ASA and I have a few friends at 9E, I am glad to see you all not lose the contract out of ATL but don't start talking like that just because of one pilot talking trash.
