Isn't the 135 replacing Saab flying expected anyway? I think the big picture is what the plan is for the Q's.

Don't you guys have 40 saabs? Kind of a big deal. Don't think my buds at pinnacolaba are expecting 135s to take over Saab flying. Hope it won't but they're getting their resumes ready. The pinnacle FOs seem to believe that they got hosed during the integration. I'm not sure how but I'm sure they'll explain it to me over a bottle.

Meanwhile, would someone explain it in an objective manner? I just assume you guys got a good contract and everyone was happy with the mergers until these recent negative threads.

Sky, what rock have you been living under? You might find 3 Colgan guys that love this merger, the rest of us want things the way they were before it.

I'm sure all the colgan guys in BOS/east coast who would be jobless right now, who have bid to JFK CA/FO, are quite happy right now. All the senior Colgan captains who bid ATL 900CA are probably doing just fine as well.

Considering all of the BOS CAs and 50% of the FOs live there or in BHB/PQI no they actually are not happy at all. Itd be wise to know what your talking about first.

I guess I won't be hearing the brief version nor an objective version. Kinda hard to keep track of all the problems at other regionals. I do have my own regional to worry about and my personal life :P

At least link me the thread. I remember seeing the SLI thread but it was mostly trolling and ****ing matches that I wasn't interested in. You know the typical "my crappy regional is better than your crappy regional" stuff...

Well, I would guess if the 135 is replacing some or all the Saabs that will be enough to trigger a bankruptcy filing by Pinnacle. Management is just waiting for an outside element (United altering their agreement with Pinnacle) to point the finger at having to file for bankruptcy. Maybe we will find out more tomorrow April 2nd. After the bankruptcy filing I'm guessing the big picture might be the Q's but I would be more worried about what the big D does to the huge fleet of CRJ200's. Only time will tell and I know this thread is mostly all of us speculating at this point.

Seem to believe? Are you f#cking kidding me? You need a serious reality check. And you should probably skip the bottle until after our hosed 9E fos explain it to you, because you apparently need to be sober to get the reality.... I am sure they would be more than happy to make it clear to you just how HOSED they got, because they did.
