And about the abuse you wrote about on a different thread, like I said before, it is a regional and I didn't come here to retire. All of my friends at other regionals complain about the same stuff. Just look at all the talk on this site, everyone complaining about something. I don't think I have ever read a post that praised their regional as being the best place to work. By the way, who do you fly for?
Work for OO, not perfect but a place I wouldn't mind spending a few extra years or a career at if mergers/age 65 happen. Pay is alright, could be better, work rules are some of best out there, this month flying 68 hours, crediting around 100 with 13 days off. Mesaba if anyone should have gotten those 900's. Selfish to say that Pinnacle should have had them with Mesaba loosing all the Avro's. 900's and 170's are not good for anyone, unless they are mainline. The "quick upgrade" might not be so quick in the future, 1000 pic might not mean a whole lot. How much has mainline grown in the last 7 years? How much have the regionals grown in the last 7 years?

Does than mean in addition to getting the 900s (Press Releases), Mesaba will start replacing some of the SAABs with 200s ?

NWA MEC wants "flow down" in exchange for Mesaba getting 900s. Imagine a NWA pilot wanting to flow down to a SAAB ? Will Mesaba be an all CRJ fleet with somone else providing SAAB service ?

Who knows? But there was a pay scale for Q400's floating around. Some of MESABA's SAAB runs are real short DTW-TOL. We never get over 4000.

Well let's see, Colgan has a bunch of SAAB 340's and is continuing to grow and oh by the way, their new parent company also flys for NWA. Hmmm......
