Well that would make my decision to stay a reserve 900 ca or go to the 200 really easy.

The Pinnacle merger committee chairman posted on our message boards that the award would go out to the pilot group as soon as it was received.

I'm going to call BS on this one...we aren't going to move 41 aircraft to JFK...where's the space?more or less i can see the operation we do now staying, and growing slightly but nothing more. We were doing double the flying we were doing in JFK out in SLC and never opened a base there...nice way to blow smoke

What I heard was 5 to 8 900s would be based in JFK... All the 900s moving to NY wouldnt happen. MSP and DTW will not close as 900 bases.
They did re-work the horseshoe to allow more 900s to park there.
Looks like there will be a reduction in 200 flying out of JFK.

Delta likes to move regional planes around without actually basing any pilots where they go. Apparently, deadheading crew members on mainline flights is a large revenue stream for Delta. Delta makes around $400 per deadheading regional crew member.
