-   -   Delta to buy Pinnacle (https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/regional/72097-delta-buy-pinnacle.html)

DL buys PCL. Spools them up with 20 more 900's then sells an airline that has 100 900's and cheap labor for a profit. Or simply shuts PCL down...nobody knows.

This sounds like Comair part II

Why don't some of you guys from other carriers go to one of our road shows and find out what really is happening here at PCL and what is projected to happen. I guess it wouldn't be as fun spouting off facts instead of rumors on APC.

Because that worked real well when Comair tried that.

Dunno. Since you said DOH, what is the senior Pinnacle CA's DOH?

don't wet your whistle because I don't care either way, but #1 starts in 81, and # 200 ends in 97. Prolly wouldn't be a big deal, especially since most ISL mergers lately are category/class instead of straight DOH.

Delta is just formalizing what has been going on in reality since last April. Delta wants their money back. The only way to get it back is to get costs under control, clean house, put competent management in place, fix the problems there, put a long term contract in place, and sell the company to get back the money Delta has dumped into Pinnacle over the last 9 months.

Pinnacle is being "bought" for a song. The previous owners were crooks who skimmed money while failing to perform. DAL bought it because nobody else wanted it. Without firm agreements for lift with the consolidated legacy carriers, Pinnacle wasn't an attractive package. The purchase gives DAL the opportunity to reconfigure the airline and offer it for sale with a strong lift agreement with DAL.
I guess your MEC chair could have chosen to not enforce his own section 1. Good thing you sent that guy to national.

Or maybe because the DAL pilot's contact had substantial penalties for dissolving the flow back? And since Delta management signed said contract, they decided to actually comply with it? Also, I believe the concept of forced large RJ reductions as a result of flow back dissolution was in the PMNW contract.
