Shy's point isn't that good, however some history of your merger partner needs to be corrected:
Pinnacle continued to take deliveries of CRJ200s for over a year after the 3701 accident.
They got the contract to fly CRJ900s about a year and a half after the CRJ200 deliveries were completed.

Wound, meet salt.

That's funny that you are saying this on a regional airline forum, where 60% of the people on here took out a $100k loan to get this job, knowing darn well what the pay/conditions are, then go out and buy a Bose headseat and Iphone 5 and iPad before basic indoc, then ***** and whine all day that they can't feed their family or tip the driver and are underpaid and something needs to be done about it, and that Captains don't know what it is like to be an FO.

It's also really cool listening to an 11 year captain complain about how he just took a big pay cut and can't afford to keep his boat docked in the marina, can't drive his new 2012 Ford F150 around town as much,can't remodel his 4,000 square foot house, and has to rethink paying $50 a month to park in the cover parking at the airport all while talking on his new iPhone 5 and putting away his $1,200 Bose Aviation headset. It's all relative. It's possible that iPhones and Bose headsets were gifts from relatives. My Bose QC 15 set was a Christmas/birthday present from my sisters. I'm an FO and I didn't spend money on those things because I can't afford them. I still live in an apartment and have an old car that hardly runs and I park in the free parking lot and take the bus like most FOs.

Now that yet another Pinnacle thread has turned into how much everyone hates Colgan and ShyGuy can we throw some real questions out there?
Is this Navy and Gray uniform thing real? I also hear a hat will be worn.
Anyone seen these uniforms or have any info on this?
Also heard an LAX base could be coming up soon on the 200 side.
I've got no first hand knowledge on any of this just heard it in passing.
I'm not a west coast guy so I could careless about LAX, just something I've heard.
