Those were own by Pinnacle, they are going back to whoever finance it, along with the Q400. It possible Delta can pick them up and give it to whoever. But since Delta doesn't own it like the 200's they can't just take them from us and give it to someone else.

But they can park them. Not saying they will, and we will all have many parked.
 
You are the second lowest, according to the 15 year ASA signed as part of the Skywest purchase of ASA from Delta.

...which was signed in 2005, and should extend until 2020. The question is, does this contract entitle us to keep flying all of our current aircraft for the duration of that contract? (If not, it wouldn't be much of a contract). If we are under contract to provide this flying, this could explain why Brad didn't feel the need to mention anything about 50's going away. Does anyone have more specific details of the contract?

I'll go look at it if I get motivated to. But my guess is that they are tied to the head lease of the aircraft or the end of the ASA, whichever occurs first.

I'd rather have honesty. Tell people they will downgrade or possibly lose their job so they can get an early start on a new path. All this guessing is B.S. Leadership means to give direction. The Lt. may not say we're eff'd, but he can say we're not going to make it if we stay on this path....this is where we need to go, and then lead the way.
Now, I know it's early and nobody has a clue, but we all know XJT DAL is probably the most expensive has has little to no chance of securing anything to replace the massive 50's about to be lost. I get the optimism, but I'd rather the dudes in the crows nest of the Titanic tell me we are about to hit the iceburg and the boat is going to sink. Then we could all head for the life rafts before it's too late!

It's Delta, when it comes to the regionals assume the worse.
 
Everyone keeps saying PNCL will get the majority of new flying because Delta controls them now.

Doesn't Delta own and control Comair?

Well, we were SUPPOSED to be the second lowest. We missed that target. The result being we are being compensated as the second lowest regardless of our actual cost position.

Yes, but my guess is since Pinnacle is in BK, with the new contract at Pinnacle, it will be much cheaper for Pinnacle to operate it than Comair. When Mesaba was in BK they recieved 36 CRJ 900 and not Pinnacle. I'm just going by a guess and what happened in the past.
