huuuuurrrr dat

They just need to cut my bribe che....err...longevity bonus check in an expeditious fashion.

I keep hearing about 700s... Does that mean the carrier flying them wasn't meeting performance goals? Gotta see it to believe it.

If it happens the line will be out the door and around the corner.

Pinnacle will offer a signing bonus I'm sure if they hire.
If you build it (false hope), they will come.

My question is, even though Pinnacles contract is awful, GoJets is still cheaper and has a much more junior seniority list. Why would Delta want to shift flying from GoJet to Pinnacle? I know Pinnacle guys have had it rough the last year and want to find a sign of hope

Because they have complete control over Pinnacles performance.

Guess they don't care about late departures in DTW then. It has only gotten worse with DGS.

Delta has come in and has begun taking over all essential business functions and integrating them into Delta (at a minimal cost to DL). Delta managers are replacing most of the 9E people. Delta has basically achieved a C-scale wage pilot group, and because most essential functions are actually going to be done by Delta, the overhead will be very low and overall probably cheaper than any stand-alone regional that has its own overhead to pay for.

I heard about 700s from 2003-2007. And the E170, E190, and of course, a TPA base!

Exactly. All they have to do is say "Preferential Interview with Delta!" and maybe a $1,000 to $5,000 bonus and people will be there.
