This thread is all doom and gloom.... And picking on Shyguy. I mean the dude's direct, but I've never read anything with him directly putting anyone down. Just speaks his mind.

No one has a clue what's happening on April 2nd. And there most likely won't be an announcement before then.
What is the significance of April 2? I know everyone has been saying they will tell us something on that day but where did you hear that from. I didn't see the memo.

Pinnacle has some short term financial relief from Bombardier and United/Continental. These agreements were set to end on April 2nd.

Yikes. Hoping for the best.

These oil prices are going up way too fast.

I agree with your sell rumor thoughts. Everyone is going to require money to operate the Qs, if United could get away with paying us a little more to make us happy they may do that. Skywest would require alot more I feel, which kills United huge profits from us on the Qs.

And for those that think they know what is going to happen realize that we only have 10% of the information we need to make such statements as, "The Colgan side will be eliminated" or "SkyWest is buying us".

There is no conspiracy of Q's in hangers or at the YYZ airport.
Your white and blue Q was probably this

That is what I thought. The point is, one Q with a blue tail got turned into five Qs painted in United colors. Like everything said on this thread, only 10% is based on facts and the rest on speculation and rumor.

For the First Officers with no turbine PIC and potentially no upgrade anytime soon, if we lose more airplanes. Are people trying to leave? I know there are a lot of guys paying for their own ATP but at other regionals they have already announced FO's will be getting ATP's on their next PC. I would like to know what the plan is for us with regards to the ATP. I want to bail if things go south here but they are so SLOW to tell us anything I am debating leaving before I hear what the deal is.

Pinnacle has quite a few FOs with no TPIC bailing out to Spirit and Virgin. All of them invested in the ATP on their own.

I doubt they are even thinking about ATP's right now unless it is how they can get us to pay them to do the check ride.

Knowing Pinnacle/Colgan, they will wait until the last minute, panic, and shove everyone through a half a$$ ATP program in their usual Chinese Fire Drill mode.......
