There is a difference between consolidation and elimination. In fact it appears to go beyond consolidation into inclusion - MSP: same office building, HQ location, ramps, hangers, etc.

I go out on a limb again and predict that the current Pinnacle CEO (Spanjers) will "move up" in the airline industry.

Then we as a group can sue for just compensation, the bridge agreement is a contract between the pilots of 9E and Delta. Either Delta goes bankrupt(not going to happen), or we pinnacle pilots wildcat strike(even more unlikely than a DAL bankruptcy).

He was a pretty good Chief Pilot at YV (fair and resonable) then he moved up the ranks at F8, then OH and so forth. Like MusicPilot said, he is the wind down man at DL now and I wouldn't expect miracles. Overall, he was a good guy but I'm sure someone else will be pulling the strings in this play and I doubt anything good will come out of this.

Good luck

Ok. Devils advocate wonders if there is an intended wind-down, why didn't they do it now vs. moving an HQ and making a deal? That would have been cheaper.

No need to "wiggle out."

Last time I checked, Delta's not obligated to hire a blessed soul they've interviewed.

They can interview us in seniority order but the ratio of 12 9E pilots are not guaranteed interviews but seats in class.

The same thing could have been asked of why Comair offered buyouts and paid a lot of money in doing so before shutting their doors. Delta is good at making sound financial decisions.

I don't know, maybe gives them time to find other carriers to take up the slack?
DAL spent over a billion with Comair and where are they now? Are there any holes or gray areas in that TA?

Because moving to a property that Delta already owns means they owe nothing when they shut them down.
