Management from Compass Airlines was spotted in Indianapolis today for an unknown reason. Mesaba management was also spotted in Memphis during the last few days. Finally, Jerry Atkin was seen in Cincinnati.

Lots of mergers, musical chairs, and some regionals going bye bye.
Comair is offering buyouts-early outs to be the best dressed wh0re when a merger partner comes around. the best part- she's heavy into anal!!! She wasn't willing, then "D" came along. She liked it so much, she started treating her own the same way.

My conclusion is these guys have no clue where to go for a NICE vacation..... Or they also missed their commutes home and played the hopscotch game to get home...

Well I hope (for our sake and yours) that it's good news and hiring will resume. Unfortunately in this biz you have to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Updating my résumé tonight.

First of all, I'm impressed that you were able to get the punctuation on top of the e's. Second, you only need one on the last e.

Sorry. Just bored.

My own personal theory is that Pinnacle is next in the musical chairs; 50 seat pull down edition. ASA (ATRs, 50s), Chautauqua (135s), Comair (50s, 900s and I think some 70s) and Freedom (900s and hopefully everything else) y.

Mesaba seemed to be gaining all sorts of stuff but that's been reassigned. That leaves Pinnacle to take a little dose of 50 seat reductions. I believed ASA was going to be the next hard core whipping boy (ala Comair) but the 900s changed that. Who knows, like I said, just my theory.

Well, my source helped me save 15% by switching to Geico. He told me nothing about Pinnacle though.
