Do these guys have another option up there? It's a fact the majority of passengers are afraid of props and don't like them. I think the post above hit it in the head, AA is dumping the props and so it's Delta. I think all these bankruptcies have to do with what AMR is doing, the other mainlines need to get in line to be able to match what AMR is trying to get.

American had the Q400s in DFW during November and December and wants to use them to replace ATRs. United wants more Q400s and was putting first class in them. Qs will have a future because of the price of jet fuel. They will go somewhere, my guess is Skywest or Commutair, maybe Piedmont. We'll see...

So at this point, is there any chance the turboprop operation (either/both sf340 and/or q400 airplanes, pilots, certificate) can or will be sold to another carrier, moving the crews with the aircraft? I know this has been discussed before, but what is the real life application of the contract regarding this issue. And as for the aircraft, is Pinnacle trying to just give back and default on the q400s, or sell them, making the above question relevant. Seems to me Pinnacle would benefit by cutting the operation and seeing some sort of return from the aircraft it does own, Colgan pilots could benefit with a different opportunity, and the Pinnacle/Mesaba pilots wouldn't have to endure nearly the number of furloughs.

Really sorry to see this development. I have been through BK furloughs and liquidation. IT STINKS!!!
We are hiring 720 pilots this year and a substantial amount in the next two years. Not for everyone but beats being unemployed. Process is long but worth a look. Good luck.
