The ground work has already been laid with the counterproposals they supposedly made for saving MORE money than SM said would be needed to save the company.
Just Do it.
It is easier to ask forgiveness than to seek permission.

Longterm it might be good if all the regionals start going belly up, it would force the majors to do their own flying.
Flight 3407 kin set back by Pinnacle bankruptcy - Washington - The Buffalo News
The only way out of this would be if the venue is changed to Tennessee or Federal Court. But if this comes under New York law Pinnacle and any successor organization will be on the hook for punitive damages, not insurance.
I agree that the internal situation at Pinnacle right now doesn't bode well for the future of the company. It's not good when your future rides on the whims of Mother Delta.

Aaaaaaannnnnd...we're back to fighting windmills. (sigh)
Oh well. 3 pages was more attention-span than I had anticipated and more than is typically achievable in a thread.
Threads are like golden retrievers...fun to watch but so very easily distracted. When all else fails....refer back to post #1 to remember what the topic once was.
I'll go back to watching.
The only thing certain is that SOMETHING will happen. I just hope that someone takes the reigns and makes it as least unpleasant as possible.
Even cheap lube is better than sand.
