Apparently the mass exodus of pilots jumping ship has led to unprecedented cancellations, aggravated by the new dispatch software change that caused over 500 cancellations in one week alone.
Can anyone provide information on this? in that case, looks like at least so far (month to date) everyone's favorite "in before the lock" regional is doing a lot worse than pinnacle? |

The new ASA supposedly accounted for this while being financed. The beauty of DL running the show is that, from their experience, they know how it plays out.
I personally believe the "fun" is yet to come. Anyone with a paycheck coming from PNCL should be exploring any opportunity that looks "better" in the 3-5 year timeline and offers career progression from 5+. |
At Pinnacle, I really feel bad for the 2007-2008 FOs who have had 4-5+ years of SIC time only and are now looking at starting all over again at the bottom of the list at another regional. They deserve better.

Sounds like the company negotiating team. Do you think you are putting fear in the hearts of the pilots when the pilots are to the "I dont care what happens" point? "Rumor from the school house" this and "Word on the street" that. Is Delta now legally able to terminate our contract and dispense the flying to another regional? OF COURSE THEY CAN. They have been able to do that since April 1, 2012. Nothing new here. Pinnacle is in bankruptcy and Delta can do with us what they please. They could have pulled the plug that day or started an orderly wind down of the fleet like they forced us to do with United. We will be here as long as Delta needs us and not a minute longer contract or not.

I'm always curious how these rumors start. Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no public info to back any of this flamebait up. Mass cancelations at Pinnacle is nothing new. Delta threats are nothing new. Where do people come up with this stuff?

A similar situation just happened to my Fiancee actually, she found out through the grape vine that the owners of the business she works at is selling. The owner found out everyone was talking about it and demanded to know who is spreading it and that THEY are not selling.... Guess what they announced 2 days later?
