Fuel prices up and Delta Saabs stay

Nice, you guys are freaking amazing. All you want to talk about is how to screw people and how you can justify it. The fact is no one knows. If fuel prices don't go back down, Delta could easily go to Pinnacle and offer 1 for 2 deal simular to what they did to ASA, or they could find a better replacement for the Saab. I find it hard to believe they will get rid of the turbo props all together. At any rate what do you think Pinnacle should do, wait for the contract to expire in 2017, or try to diversify the company in preparation for that date? Because it's a good bet the 200 contract won't be renewed.

It seems as though the retirement plan ISN'T in place at this point.

Why does it seem that way? Because you read a rumor on FlightInfo? According to SEC filings, there are six DAL Saabs coming out of service in the first quarter of 2011 alone.

And the SEC filings are always right!!!!!

My flight attendants always tell me, " you wouldn't believe how many Dbags I fly with..."

I always say, "there can't be that many in this profession, you must be exaggerating"....

But you girls just keep proving me wrong

Just kidding, guys.

Just kidding, guys.

No you're not. There are Dbags at every airline, and the ratios vary by airline, and even vary within airlines by base. Fact of life.
