Pinnacle Annoucement Soon
 
Well this time I don't know whats going on..but there was a meeting the other day...and they intend on announcing 'something' soon.

Is it good or bad? I have a feeling it may be bad news

Anyone have any ideas?

:cool:

I believe Pinnacle will be getting 17 CRJ-200's back from Mesaba. And Mesaba will be displacing the 200 pilots to the 9.

i have heard this for the last couple of weeks, but nothing to back it up. and we just displaced 30 capts, so if we are getting them back then they must plan on parking them.

Here we go again. How bad can it get though.. isnt it already quite bad EVERYWHERE! :confused:

What are you guys thinking will be the announcement? They already announced the displacement of 30 CA's effective march 2nd right? so whats next? :(

The 10 CRJ900s from ASA will re-assigned to Pinnacle.

I think that the big announcement will be that they are going to resume hiring, but they're only going to hire one person, and it's going to be 3greens!

They are offering buyouts and early out programs at Comair. Maybe it's heading your way as well? After all there is a lot of talk about regional merges. It wouldn't only make sense to cut as much from each unit before you merge them.

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) have all lost physical seats. 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.
