So Pinnacle is rumored to by Mesaba, and we are now rumored to be merged with Mesaba. So in short we may be owned by Pinacle.....Did I get that right?

He's talking Q400 again!!!

Again, the expense of getting them would be a major hold up to actually getting them, though.

Why? So we can have even more pilots sitting around and even more 50 seater's and "inefficient" 76 seater's?
