As much as it kills me to say this but looking at the industry and the financial position of Pinnacle right now, the fact that colgan will start operating 15 more q's in 2010 hopefully will help us improve our balance sheet to get some more cash in here so we can compete with Republic and Skywest. Its obvious there is no growth coming on our side of the fence so I guess since the damage has already been done and the planes ordered, we have to hope they do well. I just wish them luck getting good pay for them and I just hope we can all be on one list very shortly.

Seperate airlines, SAME holding company. It's all in the wording. I know you know this, but some may be confused.

I hear you, and agree with you, but we all know the truth and if they start making the money they say they can make with those things, if we are all on one list it can only help us. Basically I am rationalizing

I just read on airlink pilots calander that 4 days of negotiations are scheduled 10th - 13th. Good to see we are starting back up again. I wish the new guys well. Hopefully we can get this wrapped up real quick but i am mentally preparing myself for 6 months to a year.
