Johnso, you're correct, but I believe your timing is off. PCL had a real liquidity problem, and absent Delta financing they would have liquidated. The serious counter-offers came about after the new PCL business plan was formulated, and after our contract was in place, if memory serves.

My only point to the historical revisionists (not you) is that Delta had a financial and contractual obligation for almost all the RJ lift at PCL whether they liquidated or reorganized. And that obligation had a significant input into the Delta network.

So please tell me that if Pinnacle/Endeavor had liquidated, how many RJ's would Delta still have had ownership responsibility for? Hint: the answer was in the bankruptcy disclosures, and it was 141 CRJ-200 and 41 CRJ-900. PCL was only obligated to 16 CRJ-900, and those along with the former Colgan Q400 were the first aircraft they rejected in court. Oh, and tell me what Delta would have looked like with the loss of 1/3 of DCI over the summer...I think they were about 8% of our domestic network.
You choose to ignore reality. Your view would have not been the most beneficial outcome for Delta mainline pilots.

Carl,
As you might imagine, there are times when I get involved in local politics. My family never considers moving. We think we live in a great place. As a citizen it is our role to get involved and maintain, or improve that standard for those who come after us. You seem to be of a like mind on this kind of action.

When you call my participation in a democratic process (joining the DPA) "like moving to Iran", it's the same eye rolling level of hyperbole most conservatives have become accustomed to. It doesn't move the ball at all, and it never will.
