Well now they "fly the small jets for Delta" why change?

 

[samballs]

How soon before some Delta Connection guy claims he flies for "mainline" Delta, when this Connection logo comes off?

How long? they already do.

I have been out of the regional loop for a while. PNCL is flying connection for Delta? I saw one of the planes mentioned above at the Delta terminal at DFW the other day.

PCL has signed a 10-year service agreement with Delta for 16 -900s, the first was delivered in November, with deliveries continuing through July. PCL is opening an ATL base, and under the agreement, could receive additional -900s.

Thanks for the update, where is PNCL getting the pilots? They were always a few dozen short when I worked there.

Ha ha! I wasn't sure if I should mention that or not!

There's a lot of "discussion" on the boards about how PCL will staff the -900s, especially since I believe Delta is requiring a higher staffing ratio than NWA.

The 15 -200s going to XJ should offset that to some degree. But let's see if 9E ends up paying performance penalties to DAL the way they did to NWA!

The E170s are sooooooo much nicer for the pax (and those of us who commute).

Don't whine when you are getting a free ride. I guarantee the -900 is more comfortable than any seat in the terminal.

PNCL is stealing SkyWests' flying....what a bunch of cr@p....

 

[Hypoxik]

Thats ok because they will steal it from XJT who stole it from ASA. Oh ya ASA stole it from mainline

Pinnacle/Freedom not feel like they are a connection carriers?
Something seems to be missing on these.

All the 50 seat aircraft have connection on both sides.
General Lee?

That plane looks like a long, painful suppository...

 

[scarlet]

Yeah Delta loves that fuel bill from the E-170/175 too..

 

[GearBayOverheat]

No... Skywest was given that flying by Delta because we produce a much higher quality product, for lower cost. Everybody else is stealing flying. Skywest gets flying cause we deserve it. OUR FLYING!!!!!

Taxing without the nav lights on?

Only the beacon is required for day operation. Next time you see AE go by, look at thier nav lights. I would bet you they are off.
