Pinnacle, Mesaba, and Colgan Pilots broker historic agreement in just 102 days
January 21, 2011 - Pilot leaders representing almost 3,000 pilots flying under the Pinnacle Airlines Corp. banner have endorsed a tentative agreement that would unite pilots from three airlines under a single contract, paving the way for the smooth integration of one of the world’s largest regional carriers.

The Master Executive Councils (MECs) from Pinnacle Airlines, Mesaba Airlines, and Colgan Air unanimously approved a joint collective bargaining agreement (JCBA) that was negotiated in only 102 days. ALPA pilots from the three carriers will now vote on whether to ratify the five-year agreement.
