I'm going out on a limb and am going to give Airsupport some support on this one. From what I hear, there may be some substance to the Mesaba rumor.

Just part of the rumors going around, But I heard from a guy that Delta will break the Pinnacle contract after all is said and done. ( but they heard it from another friend) Don't know if thats possible.
Hope thats not the same one you heard.

Mesaba has NOT stopped hiring, despite what APC says. As mentioned we are overstaffed on the saab and to even that out the company is allowing FOs to move to the 900 from the saab to fill those seats. Until that stops all folks invited to join the company are being put into a pool. Classes are filled through the summer, so the guys in the pool could end up waiting awhile. Join this will decreased attritian and the fact our deliveries will come to an end in the fall, the hiring machine is slowing down.

As for the rumor... I'll believe it when I see it. IF it is true, I can only imagine that reaction that will happen between the pilot group, especially those of us who were hired pre bankruptcy, contract 2004 and 9/11.

unless pncl performance goes down we are in 10yr contracts. This is aviation but we have a pretty good stance compared to the rest. Only time will tell.

I dont think many were upset with the RUMOR as much as with the half assed rumor...ie.... "I know something...does anyone else? "...... thrown out in front of the board as a whole.....This board is full of rumors.... but his initial post was nearly a "rumor of a rumor"......
