Actually, the last two will remain in service until the end of August due to the lack of sim availability for the 170/190
Well the last update from the FA reps said they were all going to be parked at he end of April.....
But I still don't think Bedford is intereted in anything with a prop.....

My source is from the Director of Ops in a memo to the YX pilots. I'm going to say it's pretty solid.

Well that's fine but it doesn't change the main point that Bedford has no interest in running a turboprop operation and is getting rid of all the Qs.

Is anyone else listening to the conference call?

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.
Nope Qs and Saabs are going back to lessors at the rate of 3 a month starting in May. Saab Operation is finished in August and Q Operation is finished in November. Colgan pilots will be able to hold the aircraft according to their seniority on the ISL. Unfortunately it will be a combination of Mesaba, Pinnacle, and Colgan pilots that are furloughed....
I think part of the issue is the liablities of the Colgan certificate due to 3407 because there is no interest in that certificate.
