precisely why we all fear a "out of seniority" furlough push in court

Guys, not that what I say will help anything, but as a Comair guy who is about to be on the street, I have been impressed by other airlines trying to help out guys who are about to be furloughed. Thankfully, your pilot group hasn't burned many bridges, and airlines will be there to help the furloughs.

The Former Officer Agreements
. The Debtor hereby seek to
reject the Consulting Agreement (the “
Trenary Agreement”) dated March 10, 2011
between Pinnacle Holdings and Philip H. Trenary (“
Trenary”) and the Release
Agreement (the “
Shockey Agreement” and together with the Trenary Agreement, the
Former Officer Agreements”) dated October 19, 2011 between Pinnacle Holdings and

12-11343 Doc 19 Filed 04/02/12 Entered 04/02/12 00:35:52 Main Document
Pg 4 of 20
5
Douglas W. Shockey (“
Shockey”), in each case effective as of the Petition Date.
Pursuant to the Officer Agreements, the Debtors pay Trenary for consulting services and
Shockey for non-revocation of a release signed concurrently with the Shockey
Agreement. The Debtors are eager to use these chapter 11 proceedings to maximize
value for all stakeholders and emerge as stronger businesses. After analyzing the Officer
Agreements, the Debtors have determined, in the sound exercise of their business
judgment, that rejecting the Former Officer Agreements would benefit the Debtors’
estates by allowing the Debtors to avoid accruing ongoing payment obligations under the
Former Officer Agreements, which provide no ongoing benefit to the Debtors’ estates.
The Debtors estimate that the total savings from rejecting the Officer Agreements will

exceed $1,500,000.

Good thing I am off today, could not imagine going into work. Good luck trying to get fuel from an FBO vendor since the company just told them all that they are not going to be paid their previous balance.Better top off at the hub before going out.

Ok... I just have to say that this is going to SUCK for all the pilots here. And, in all honesty, more so for the Pinnacle/Mesaba guys that could potentially be furloughed because of Colgan Air ceasing operations. But I acknowledge that the Pinnacle 900s are being parked too. Doesn't change what's already happened and what is going to happen.

All I can say is best of luck to all of us, and if anyone needs a letter of rec feel free to PM me. Stay safe out there!!
