The update didn't mention where the planes will be based. DAL has shown it doesn't like one regional controlling all the flying in a base so as an ATL based guy I fear Pinnacle may continue their ATL flying with the ex Mesaba 900s and XJT's newly acquired 900s fly elsewhere.

Exactly. DTW, LGA, ??? take your pick. ATL is always a possibility too

A LGA base would make my commuting life come to an end when I come back to work. Then again, knowing my luck with things that base for XJT will likely never happen.

While it's good news for LASA for now, those 200s leaving next fall worries me as to how many they might hire/upgrade. they might try what they did a few years ago and just let the operation run ultra thin so they won't be fat when the 200s go away. I hope they won't and kind of doubt they will since we should be losing a decent number of people the first half of next year due to hiring, but next summer might be rough

On the bright side, 12 additional planes should mean at least 60 upgrades, plus alittle more for recent attrition.
Hopefully the overwater certification process on the 200 means even more good news coming.
