And why would that be a bad thing?

THAT'S what is not a good idea.

Or not flying the -900 for close to a year, then go into your PC and have them say "Oh, the only sim available is the -900, so you're going to have to use it. Who cares if you're not proficient flying it..."

Not a good idea either.

Type jumping mid-pairing kinda felt like the old CFI days...complex to non-complex, back to complex, then finish the day off with a nice long multi XC... most of you know what I mean.

Ok, heres the deal...

Colgan takes the Mesaba name....(think Valuejet) and continues to fly turboprops.

Pinnacle takes Mesaba Jets..(gets the 900s they wanted)

Mesaba as it exist today...no longer exists...

Pinnacle will need additional Maint and Crews due to aquiring additional aircraft but I dont forsee any clean "merge" of labor.

Oh, pinnacle gets a DTW hangar and the best CRJ training facility around..
