The upgrade is still safe for quite a while. It is under 2 years right now and falling. upgrading 60 or so between feb and mar and management said they may even have to increase that. The Delta deal is done (in my opinion, as well as others), which will require even more captains by far.

The cups, T-shirts and cake to celebrate the fact that with two airlines in the holding company nothing is different. Perhaps on another day when nothing is different they will find another reason to celebrate. It's kind of like "A Very merry Unbirthday" from Alice in Wonderland. But this is "Phil in Iwonderland."

Perhaps Colganites should ask for thongs, cupcakes, and shotglasses. All of which are more practical if used wisely.

That's all I need is another thong!

what delta deal?

 

[Ridgeback]

If I show up do I get a 410 club T-shirt?

 

[flyslow24]

the delta thing is a done deal eh?

Man pinnacle pilots are a pleasure to jumpseat on. Last "done deal" was the coex flying. Oh and then the captain went on to tell me how the retro fitted the cargo door on the RJ so they could get Fed ex flying and that was a done deal as well. CRJ 900 from Northwest was a done deal on the same flight.

Are you guys in contract Neg still?

 

[xjgearbtch]

with big sky already flying for Delta I see mesaba pilots flying for Delta before 9E.

 

[70-SS]

What about the birthday present in Oct.

 

[flyslow24]

Birthday present? That you keep current flying?

What a joke.

Ok Happy Birthday.

 

[suupah]

nah, cups that say "simply the Best" and "Pinnacle and Colgan"

perfect for drinking the kool aid

Time will tell. Either you will be right or I will be right. Why don't you shut the Fck up until then. Then you can run your mouth or admit you were wrong.

 

[flyslow24]

Yeah I guess time will tell.

Was that Coex flying awarded yet?
Did the Fed Ex RFP come out yet?

Sorry I'm supposed to be quiet

I can't speak for those tools.

A question

Is it possible that PCL will lose NWA flying? NWA bought Mesaba which makes them wholly owned and isnt NWA going to start Compass? Where does that leave PCL?

We just signed a new ASA with NW a month ago. Are NW flying is secure until 2017, with a provision to remove 17 of our 141 planes if we do not have a contract by 3/31/07. Quite frankly, our completion factor, on time and cost our exceptional so I don't think we are in any danger of losing the bulk of our NW flying. All the nay sayers were betting money that we would lose some or all of our NW flying before we finished our new ASA (airline services agreement).

Just a couple of words in there that do not make sense.

Why not? The ASA was signed in Bk not before. They would have to honor it. You are probably one of those guys who said that we would lose alot of our flying. You are also probably one of those alknowing that said we would not grow until we took a pay cut. 17 more planes sounds like growth. Yes I know that 15 are previously ours. But once the planes were gone a year ago you all said they would never go back. You look smarter every time you type.

I have still not heard an answer to the original question.

 

[arthompson]

I was at work so I didn't get a cup or t-shirt.

 

[n32jk]

I have still not heard an answer to the original question.

Yea I heard they are around. I was in BGM monday and the station manager said he had a box full. I just hope they are strong enough to use as cleaning rags...... just like the company memos that I wish they would print on soft absorbent lightly scented paper so's I could use them for a better purpose.....

Yes.. something quilted WOULD be nice

 

[suupah]

We got both. What a joke.

 

[PCL_128]

They can keep their damn t-shirts and mugs and honor our scope clause instead.

 

[CoolSidePillow]

What does the announcement of Mesaba getting CR900s mean for PCL jet flying for NWA?

 

[ataopsdave]

Not really anything because NW just signed a new ASA with us around xmas for 10 more years good for 141 jets
