So if the first PCS run is on the 20th, how is it that reserve requirements for Feb 3rd went from above coverage to below coverage? 27 required 29 available and now its 27-27. How did it go down if the PCS first run hasn't happened?

One person got to drop their February awarded trip before the PCS run, how do you do that? I'd like to be able to do that.

Inquiring minds would like to know?!?! I have a couple of drop request in and if denied (most likely) I'll be even more vocal. Maybe you should question someone in the know?

Me too. Maybe I'm missing something.

Lots of things happen, like dropping your entire line when you go out on a medical like I did about 2 years ago. Things happen, as I ended up with a 51 hour line after dropping a trip on the swap board.

There goes another quarter million .... Guess I am glad we did not drop a new CF-34 in the Ocean on the way to Belize.

The FAA is proposing a $275,000 civil penalty against Pinnacle Airlines of Memphis for allegedly operating a Bombardier CRJ900 on 11 flights without all required parts fitted. According to the FAA, Pinnacle mechanics failed to replace a part required in the approved aircraft maintenance manual when they replaced the aircraft’s right engine. A source close to the Pinnacle flight crew told AIN on condition of anonymity that the missing part was the second engine mount used to hold the powerplant in place.

On a leg between Atlanta and Belize, the source said, Pinnacle’s dispatch team ordered the crew to return the aircraft to Atlanta with no reason given. Because of deteriorating weather in Atlanta, the crew suggested a different diversion point, but was told the landing airport needed to be a Pinnacle maintenance base. The crew landed safely at Knoxville, Tenn. The crew did not learn the specifics of the maintenance issue until after landing.

The 11 flights took place on Oct. 25, 26 and 27, 2010.

That would have made a splash. Can passengers sue? If so, do they sue Delta? So when they say we couldn't fly as cheaply as the lowest bidder regional airline, does that include lawsuits because of things done outside of their direct control while transporting their passengers?

Maybe, I get what it is about this Pinnacle thing you don't like, you see it as Delta pilots are on the path to just becoming one of many suckling...
