The most important thing is that PCL management signs a reasonable contract. More airplanes, bigger airplanes, and flying for OAL take a backseat to the contract.
If PCL flies for OAL, they will not lose airplanes unless their fleet operating for the OAL exceeds 20 airframes. At that time, NWA may take CRJs from PCL at a certain rate per month (don't quote me, but I think 2 per month). This was all spelled out in the webcast by PCL management on 12/22 and it was in a few other articles (though not as clear).

From: CRJ Captain
As was already mentioned, Pinnacle is simply getting back the 17 CRJ's lost last year in this new deal. The return of these aircraft (50-seaters only) is not really contingent upon Pinnacle reaching a TA with ALPA by the end of March. If there is no reasonable TA reached by the deadline (there most definitely will not be) then NWA simply has the option of not returning these 17 airplanes. It does not mean NWA definitely will not return the 17 airplanes. The March deadline is just management propoganda to try and make the pilots think they should vote on the first TA they get so they can meet a false and meaningless deadline. Pinnacle pilots will not bite and will hold the line until a reasonable TA is reached no matter how long it takes.
You’re smoking some good stuff if you think Pinnacle will be flying for anyone besides the red tail anytime soon. Among other things, if Pinnacle were to fly for another airline, under the terms of the new ASA, NWA could pull 20 CRJ's from Pinnacle's fleet. Are you still excited about flying for another airline?

Yes I am becuase they can only pull 1 aircraft for every 2 we get from another carrier only 5 per year and only 20 total until 2017. That wont even make a dent. Mark my words, Pinnacle will fly for another carrier by the end of 2007

A lot of the guys I have talked with lately seem to think Pinnacle will be flying for Delta in 2007. Even though guys didn't have any cocoa or cookies at the informational picket, it seems like a bunch had some koolaid instead.
