Not to mention that it would be very comforting to see an innocent baby animal on the tail during my preflight.

Hilarious. I've always wondered if Lynx pilots have an inferiority complex flying "Baby Frontier".

Pvt. Message me the dispatchers name...Ill tell you if they are indeed credible....

this is in no way true. after rah purchased frontier then republic we all started saying that we were next. i can guarantee i know the day this rumor started at pinnacle and it happened in memphis ops. someone probably wasn't in the conversation, heard us joiking that rah was going to buy pinnacle, and then took it and told a few other people and then before you know it was all around. i have even heard it come back to me and when i ask where they heard it they say some "senior" guys were talking about it in memphis ops. lol.

But incase that isn't good enough lets just think about it for a second.

1st pinnacle has 124 leased crj's. if they bought us those planes would go away and they would have nothing, since they are delta's planes now.

2nd Rah is buying up airbus' and 717's. big planes, not rj's.

3rd Pinnacle has a huge payment coming up. so we wont be cheap. infact it would cost more to pay off the debt and buy pinnacle than it is going to cost them to purchase frontier.

its not happening. no one would touch us with a 10 ft pole right now.

For those reasons, 9E is cheap!
Same goes for the bad publicity ... it just makes Pinnacle cheaper ...
Im not saying I think that this is going to happen BUT, RAH is being kind of smart ... they are taking advantage of the **** market and buying market share.
Again, I am not saying whats right or wrong, ethical or not ... just calling it as it is ...
Safe guys ...

And yet, RAH considered buying American Eagle, Expressjet, and Comair!

We like to call ourselves "Little Brother". We are also pressing for our next tail to be a Chupacabra. That'll help our self esteem issues.
