So what happens to Comair? Surely they won't keep just one WO. Especially the most dysfunctional one.

What does this have anything to do with alter egos?

just for starters when skywest pilots insurance goes through the roof at the end of next year and they see their alpa brothers negotiated insurance staying the same that will start some things up. Things are going to get interesting union wise at skywest in the next year.

They may make SAPA an official, NMB recognized union, but they won't vote in ALPA. Mark my words.

WOW .... I log onto our crew website today and it says "Pinnacle welcomes Mesaba" ... Unreal ... There's a conference call at 1130 EST, if anyone wants the info to call in, let me know I'll PM ya. For the record I work for Colgan...

Welcome guys/gals ... I hope this helps all of us!!!

I don't care who we bought...I am still not wearing that stupid hat!!!!....I kid I kid...you Delta guys look sharp in your hats....really you do...

That Delta flying is spread out amongst a plethora of pilots and operators able to replace each other as an alter ego and as such, no one has any exclusivity over flying which is needed to improve pay and working conditions.

Wonder if Mesaba's Saab's are now going to find their way over to Colgan.

They said in the press release that long term plan is that Mesaba will be the turboprop operator and Pinnacle the jet operator. No mention of Colgan. I would think they will merge Mesaba and Colgan, then change the name to Mesaba. That eliminates the Colgan stigma.

OH is most dysfunctional LOL, how do you figure that... they keep it as their part time airline like always, fill in the cracks, grow on short notice shrink on short notice, they could liquidate...
