The remaining 5-6 are due in the beginning of 2009 and as we receive a new one from bombardier we are transferring a mesa jet (that we are currently operating) over to mesaba. Mesaba grows and (in theory) Pinnacle is not growing or shrinking the -900 operations with this deal. Hope that is easy to understand. This is discussed in the PNCL Q3 SEC filing available through yahoo finance.

Pinnacle received three brand new 900's last week. They're in Memphis now.

3 greens... you need to just relax a bit my friend. Just because you hear about 3 planes being delivered does not mean anything special (since this has been known about) and nobody on this board has more info than what has been released in public. There are trolls that may know more, but its not posted info. Pinnacle (mgmt) is debating displacements currently (sent out an official memo), they know the delivery schedules (they have to cut a large check for each bird) so this should all be in the equation...
For your sake just let things flow, getting all spun up around every single event will only make you stressed and bothered.

Someone has to work Christmas, and if you're junior and one of those people, accept it. Don't screw someone else into working your awarded trips b/c your too junior to hold the holidays off.

Has anyone heard that they are going to flush the hiring pool and start all over with the new year since it's been so long since they did any new hire classes?
