Truly a race to the bottom

So you don't think Skywest will make it? They just got awarded a bunch more 76 seaters in addition to a contract with AA.

They will make it for a few years. And then their turn will come to take pay cuts.

But how many 50 seaters will be taken out of the system as the 76 seaters come online?

"Pinnacle". The Comair sequel.

(Taking concessions never got Comair a single additional aircraft. In spite of what MAY have been promised. Good Luck.)

Exactly! I know it's tough guys. I lived through the Comair mess. Don't make our mistakes, if margins are so tight that concessions make the difference between sink or swim, the company's problems are larger than that and can't be saved anyway. Don't give in; full pay till the last day!

What exactly should DALPA and Delta pilots have done to prevent this unfortunate situation? Should they have attempted to negotiate a guarantee of Pinnacle's everlasting viability? :confused:

I'm not aware of any contract in which mainline pilots have negotiated a say in who is chosen to do the outsourced flying. That would be ridiculous.
