This Delta management "team" will make "Pinnacle" healthy again.

Delta didn't kill Pinnacle; Pinnacle killed Pinnacle. Delta is picking up the pieces of what's left and will build it up again . IMHO - way beyond 81 airplanes.

I think you're correct. Delta management has created a solid way to drop their DCI costs to rock bottom prices. In 2015 Delta will be allowed to require Skywest Inc to drop their DCI cost to just above Pinnacle. That includes the flying done by Skywest & ExpressJet. Pinnacle has become very valuable to Delta.

This is not a team brought in to "shut things down." It's there to built things up. This kind of horsepower does not leave a Delta job, uproot families and move from Atlanta / Paris to MN unless they know it is long term career advancement. There is an old management expression: "When you shine like a diamond in a goats a**, don't move" for a high risk or dead end job
Wilbur is a Naval Academy graduate, has a MBA, and commanded the largest air wing in the Navy. Neuenschwander is a MBA, CPA, "integration specialist" who was heavily involved in the NWA/Delta merger. Becker is returning to HR where he has also has expertise in "integration"
They are a HQ Delta team there to build Pinnacle (still awaiting name change) way beyond 80+ airplanes and will slowly erase separate identities between Delta and its "primary" regional.

For some strange reason I read this like it was said by the Architect from "The Matrix" or...
You can read it as Hannibal Lecter's voice.
Sounds equally cool! In my head though... Lol

Again, why? By 2015, 9E will be left with some of the most senior regional airline pilots in the regional industry. Why won't Delta play the cost cutting game again, especially when 9E becomes wholly owned?

Our most senior pilot is at the 12 year mark. Nearly 30 dollars less per hour than skywest and ASA.
