I still put my money they get spun off and buy someone up, or get sold to another holding company, and much up some of your watering mouths of gaining our flying.

Just remember all you guys drooling at the idea of getting AMR flying, you could just as quickly be getting thrown into a merger with Eagle.

ya ya ya I know i know....however not all wholey owned rj airlines have had the comair fate. The majority have been spun off or sold. Comair is the only one that got this treatment. Can someone from Comair tell me if Delta wanted to spinoff Comair??

Are kidding Delta came to OO to try and get them to buy Comair. OO said no way! Comair is very similar AE whether you like it or not. Hopefully AA finds a buyer but unfortunely they've been trying to find a buyer for sometime now with no takers OO included.

pretty sure your right, I was partly using my family exposure to the airlines to supplement my knowledge. I am young dumb and stupid, thats nothing new.

Yep... the only comparison between Pinnacle and Comair is that Pinnacle is likely the next big regional to go bye bye.

Since you called me out, i do have a question, why in hell would you go to eagle after being f'd from comair.

Fool me once..... Fool me twice.

Pinnacle is certainly in a league of their own. They are getting exactly what they want out of this BK, a new management team is in place, everyone and their mother (including the senior) are jumping ship helping to reset all their costs. Once the BK terms are shoved down all the employee's throats even more people will leave. When this thing is all said and done even GoJet won't be able to compete. I don't see Pinnacle going away, they are like a cockroach, they will be around long into the future constantly exerting downward pressure on pilot wages.
