Post# of 8
Sep 12, 2012 (AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION via COMTEX) -- Bankrupt U.S. carrier Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (OTC: PNCLQ) said that dispatchers at its Pinnacle Airlines Inc., subsidiary have ratified a tentative agreement reached on Aug. 31.
The ratification means the dispatchers, represented by the Transport Workers Union of America, will avoid the Section 1113 litigation process in bankruptcy court.
"This agreement is an essential element in revising our business plan to exit Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings as a competitive regional carrier. Dispatchers are essential to safe, efficient operations and the agreement acknowledges that," said Russ Elander, vice-president of operations.
The contract remains subject to required corporate approvals and review by the Bankruptcy Court. Pinnacle Airlines flies as Delta Connection, and operates 197 regional jets on 1,000 daily flights to 131 cities in the United States and Canada. Visit www.pncl.com for more information.
