Well, either it's a scare tactic or they are actually planning on a significant reduction in flying come March. I know we're not currently overstaffed in any area because we just offered 150% pay to pick up open time in the last week of December. Even all the reserve captains I know are flying their butts off.

I've heard it mentioned that Delta wants Pinnacle to get a new contract in place. Does anyone know if Delta is actually encouraging this or putting any pressure on Pinnacle management to get a new contract in place?

If this lasts 4 months and upgrades begin it will first go senior, but also give NO special treatment or real opportunity for the street CA's. The street CA's would be the ones being flushed plus a few at the bottom (obviously). Not cool for anyone.
