Default Pinnacle PA's: Delta Flight xxxx

All,

Heard a rumor that Pinnacle Pilots are being instructed per FIF to drop the "connection" from any PA's and simply refer to themselves as "Delta xxxxx"

Any PCL pilots out there - is this fact or fiction?

Sounds like one level of false advertising, to me.

Because the words "connection" and "express" now mean poorly trained crew to the passengers. Just another step in bluring the lines between regionals and major carriers.

Next step will be identical uniforms and badges

Unless I am flying DL equipment, get DL pay and benefits, I'll continue to say Connection.

Just saw where PCL will not be doing CHA in a few weeks. What's up wit' dat? But if I'm not mistaken there will now be 3 CRJ flights, which is a good thing.
