probably figuring Delta will do a 2 for 1 swap with us to give back our 16 900's scheduled to be parked, because after the coming forced concessions they will be able to pay what they were before and be profitable and still get rid of 32 50 seaters. Amazing how a corrupt system can work like clockwork.

...Daddy Delta would only give the $74 mil in financing (which in reality is only $30 since Delta is going to take $44 off the top for PNCL purchasing Mesaba, which was forced upon them) if they stopped operations with UAL and US Airways, returned the Q-400s back to the lessor, and Delta approves a 6 yr business model. Its great how Menke basically said the only way they would get that money is if greater concessions are given up than they originally asked for. I love how it's the pilot groups fault for mgmt bad choices yet they get massive raises and the labor groups have to pay for both!

Now, what makes Menke so worthless has nothing about the filing. It's about how he asked for concessions all the while knowing that he and Spanjers were planning on using the BK trouble as leverage to get more $$ from the Board. The cherry on the top was after all this, he had the nerve to cry like a 6 year old girl and cry about the toll this will take on his family.
Menke is not a leader; leaders dont cry, run when it gets tough, use his subordinates as leverage, etc...He is a joke.

Delta was the one who called the shots. As others have said, nothing could have been done by outside forces if Delta wanted PNCL to file BK, and thats what they wanted.

On a call that had employess who feed their families on $20,000 a year, he was crying one the toll this will take on his family. He was brought to tears with the notion of having to support his family on $600,000 plus bonuses.
