That leaves less then the 125 200's Delta stated they were going to keep just last week.. So someone is going to pick up 40 or so 200's....?????

If you base all of your opinions about people and companies on forum chatter, I feel sorry for you.

LOL why all the math? 12 years is a long time, is it not? The only person putting the other down was the "lifer" talking to the "junior" earlier.

12 is a long time. When I got hired, we all planned to spend 2 years as an FO, then a year as a Captain and move on. Then oops, 9/11. Oops, bankruptcies and furloughs. Oops, age 65. Believe me, it wasn't by choice. I hope your "career" turns out better.

Delta has already stated they anticipate less now. Also the flow wouldnt be worth anything on a 2000 pilot list. With 20 people a month from CP that leaves 15 people more possibly from 9E, so maybe 100 guys a year? I am basing that on the 35% ALPA DCI new hires. Which already severely ****ed most of the DAL pilots off because it is wasted time by their MEC. Best of luck though

Thanks. I know it's not by choice.

So it's OK to sell everyone else in the regional industry downstream with this POS TA just because we all hope to be gone by then??? Yeah, that never bit anybody in the ass before...

No offense to me. Just sad to see immature pilots like you publicly cutting down others here amidst many who will face personal bankruptcy, cars repossessed, homes foreclosed and overall a very very tough time as they face rough seas ahead.

Now is not the time to post insulting statements of "lifer" leave those comments out. Now IS the time to band together, and pool all thoughts on how to handle this terrible situation.

Grow up buddy.

How many CR9's does Pinnacle have? Will this change the amount of 900's being transferred to Skywest Inc?
