Saw on another board that there is a rumor going around that CAL is planning on dropping Colgan. Anyone believe this one?
 
This would cost a LOT of money for CAL. Getting out of that contract early would be over $100 million they would pay to PNCL.
 
I dunno....
Most contracts have a safety clause that they can use to drop you if they believe you're unsafe.

I was also thinking that CAL could assume the leases for the Q's and assign them to another operator... Who knows....
 
You lost me at the word "rumor"

The better question is how much will it cost CAL to keep Colgan?
 
Colgan is operator. Colgan > Pinnacle > Delta will bear the insurance.

For those of you who didn't know- Delta held the hull and liability insurance on the airplane.

I doubt it. Pinnacle owns the airplanes. If CAL dropped Colgan and CAL wanted the airplanes, PNCL would want SERIOUS money for them.

We are over a year from this. If CAL dropped them, CJC would get an injunction seeing as there is no basis for assuming Colgan is unsafe.
