anyone else see the whacked out rumor on apc about 1 year bought or bust? Thought it was funny. No way it happens in a year, delta might go out of business if it happened that fast from the chaos that would ensue.

How do you figure? The ATL -900s are gone. All that will be left are 141 CRJ-200s and 41 CRJ-900s. 180 airplanes, a majority of them RJs, is not going to force Delta to go out of business. Look at how many planes Comair had when they struck for 3 months, and Delta survived. Delta lost a lot of money because Comair was all focused into CVG pretty much exclusively. Since then, Delta has learned a few things. Every single regional carrier has its flying dispersed through the system. For a DTW to ELM flight, you'd find one Pinnacle, one ASA, then a GoJet, etc.

Delta can easily kill off Pinnacle even in a year if it really wanted to, but most likely it will draw down the CRJ-200 fleet in conjunction with the 717 deliveries from 2013-2015.

The only way Delta can meet its contract commitments for their pilots is to rape Pinnacle of a lot of its CRJ 200's. The only question is if Delta will use the bankruptcy to give Pinnacle a 2:1 ratio for those 200's with the allowed addition of large regional Jets (the Boeing 717) and the slightly smaller regional Jets with 76 seats (70 of them). Pinnacle will be lose 100 or more 200's but will end up getting 158 new jets. Not a bad deal if it pans out. I mean why else would Delta not be planning on hiring until after the Boeings start arriving? They will be hiring for retirements in 2014, not new aircraft.


I am kidding! I am kidding! Ha ha ha

Or are you......... Dun dun dun

 

[xjhawk]

yeah, Pinnacle is done. The loss of planes will either lead to 41 planes total or no more than 140 planes. That will be the mark come 2015.

Well, I can't really call it Mesaba HQ anymore. The Pan Am training center, AKA PNCL training Minneapolis. Sorry about the poorly chosen reference.
