Default Poor Pinnacle

Sounds like Pinnacle is taking a dive in the deep end.
How about the other regionals? Can they swim? Anybody know some news about the others? Any regionals have floaty's

No, but I have a banana boat covered with duct tape patches. It's probably safer than a regional.

Have you heard anything specific or just going on general hearsay? And to think I've been expecting some good news from Pinnacle lately... Guess we'll find out in a few weeks who has better inside guys.

Sorry to offend you guys and obviously everyone's a little stressed out. I'm just going off what all the other posts are saying. That's all I've read lately... Pinnacle this, Pinnacle that. I just want to hear how the other regionals are doing. Besides, I didn't make my post personal Mr. PCLCREW... I'm very happy with my King Air. Good for me, right??

i'd say PCL is just as safe or safer than anyone right now. they have lots o cash in the bank, and have a fairly solid contract w/ NWA. The 900 flying will pick up with DL. THe only weak spot is the colgan US Airways flying that is losing cash. They knew it when they bought it, and it's coming to an ammedable period soon. THe Q is making loot for CAL. The saab can make money again if new contracts are made, both pilot groups will eventually merge, and 5 codeshares to choose from for one company. In this crappy economy, I'd almost call it safe, lol.
