I agree- the "owned" image is retarded.
And secondly- Why would United ask Colgan to end it sooner? It's not the case. PNCL didn't want to spend $2 million training guys for the Q. I think Spanjers isn't being honest. Just say- Its pointless to spend money to train guys who won't even make it to the line. We will respect that. But don't feed us BS about United asked us to conclude our flying sooner. That makes no sense and puts pressure on RAH to get up to speed. Unless the rates United pays Colgan are significantly higher than what RAH has bid.

I don't know. It seems like management there has been way behind the power curve since I got there in the fall of 2010, and has gotten worse since. I think they are making it up as they go along, and the financial realities are getting to the point that the place is barely operating. Good luck to those that remain, I hope it works out for all, but even though Pinnacle Corp has had some tough days in the last few months, there are tougher days ahead......

I'd be willing to bet money Delta pulled the plug on this one, being the DIP and the loan guarantor. Only an idiot in management would put dozens of pilots through Q400 training when the Qs are gone in 3 months. Delta probably saw that and said, ahh no. Cut 'em. You'd think after 11-09 and the ensuing fiasco, 9E management would know better on how to handle pilot vacancies, displacements, etc.
Just another day at Pinchanickel.

Shy... "go around".
This is no longer your Jumpseat.
Edit: the meaning being that you left, don't look back.
