Posted 12/08/12 Before the TA was published.
I will go out (way out) on a limb and predict:
1. The Pinnacle Bankruptcy preceding will be settled quickly with minor impact on pilot pay and benefits.
2. At some point the transfer of Pinnacle CRJ900s to Express Jet will be halted.
3. Pinnacle will become an all CRJ900 company and will receive additional 900s from the Delta purchase.
4. Delta will establish a flow through program with Pinnacle.
5. Pinnacle will be moved to MSP.
POSTED 12/31/12 BEFORE THE "VAULT LETTER" was published.
IMHO - They will grant wavers "in the flow" for no college degree, etc. Imagine bypassing a 10,00 hr CRJ900 Captain because he does not have a BA in Underwater Basket Weaving. Supply and demand will dictate what waivers are granted.
POSTED 12/31/12 Before the TA was published.
I'll still go "way out on the limb" and predict that if the TA is passed, Delta will purchase Pinnacle. (probably for less money then they got for Mesaba )
Batting average is improving.

But you did vote to legitimize your CEO's bankruptcy pay raise...you legitimized them peeing away every dollar...you legitimized them bullying you into fear. Thanks.

Your groups opinion is now worth the same as a pile of dog poop.
FWIW I will vote no when its my turn. I'll be damned before something takes a crap on me and tells me to eat it. I'll see it coming wayyyy before it does. The signs were there for you guys a long time ago.
