Pinnacle (and the other regionals) don't really have too much of their own costs. They're just Delta (or whoevers') costs.. outsourced.

How about the concept of the seller honoring a legally-binding contingency of the sale?

How else are big time corporate lawyers supposed to make the big bucks?

No, but nice try. I'm sure Delta is well aware that Pinnacle voluntarily closed the Colgan BOS Saab base only to ensure we have proper staffing on other bases and fleets. Delta should't have to pay for Pinnacle/Colgan's incompetence. Our company voluntarily gave up the US Airways Express BOS flying. Delta shouldn't have to pay one penny for that or the associated displacement costs.

I love how you stick up for Delta, considering the fact that Delta's goal is to whipsaw regionals against each other at any cost.

From a Delta management point of view, that's their job.

Amen. Maybe one day it will be too much of a pain in the ass for mainline to outsource their flying to dirtbag regional outfits.

Did you just call your employer a dirtbag regional outfit?

For someone not really in the loop, whats the latest at Pinnacle?

Is the company still asking for paycuts? Have they gotten any? Are they still threatening bankruptcy? Any changes to training bids?

Any other big news / changes from the status quo?
