Sorry to see this for all you guys / gals at Pinnacle - Pilots, FA, ... and all!
Though there is nothing funny about any of this - perhaps this link that was on Eagle Life will also fit with the crap your management pulled...

Funny, I happen to know a bunch of military pilots...there's a lot fewer of them than there used to be, and a significant percentage (at least a majority) have no interest in airlines after watching the slow motion train wreck over the last decade. They also see reserve guys taking active military orders to escape the airlines. The military won't be solving the airline's manpower issues.

This is very inaccurate. I know a bunch of active and guard - reserve military pilots and I don't know a single one who isn't gunning for the airlines. They are standing in line waiting for Delta, SWA, FedEx, UPS to hire them.

For someone who isn't completely up to date with the goings on at Pinnacle, what is the status of Mesaba? I thought Colgan was going to get folded into Mesaba and it was going to be just Pinnacle flying jets and Mesaba flying props. Does this BK mean that there won't be any props left at Pinnacle?
