So should that be an insult or a comment? Looking at the displacement I would be right at the top of the 30 (for displacement) in overall seniority IF I was a CA. Don't see how it's a relevant insult but I may be reading it wrong. Folks that came as street CA's knew the risks involved.

The only thing now is to run with a skeleton crew and have management make bonus!! I would not be surprised if Pncl starts furloughing.... they have been riding this fake wave of bliss now the surf has died down and panic mode is just now being activated. Let us not settle on a contract like MAG pilots did.. lets get what we deserve before we allow manangement to continue riding us dirty!

I have to say that I'm confused here.... we knew we weren't keeping the Freedom birds (who'd want to, they're hanger queens), and unless someone in management is smoking some major crack, they knew that as well. They were only meant as a "stop-gap" measure while deferring delivery on the remainder of the 16 PNCL-owned CRJ-900s, which are now starting to show up on property.

There are 7 Freedom birds... Mesaba will get 5 of them. That means ASA will get 2 Freedom and 8 form Bombardier brand new.

Has Pinnacle received all of its remaining 5 900's from Bombardier yet or just received a couple of them? Do they all go in service together this month along with the other 2 they received prior to receiving the freedom airplanes?

By the way... Happy New Year everyone! Hope its a great 2009 for everyone at the regionals on here at airlinepilotforums!!
