*Petitioner:*                         Pinnacle Airlines, Inc.                    

*Section of 14 CFR Affected:*14 CFR 120.109(a)(1), (b), 120.115(c), 120.217(c), 120.223(a)(1), and 120.223(a)(1)(i).                    

## Description of Relief Sought

Pinnacle seeks relief from conducting pre-employment testing, training, and the drug and alcohol records check for 1,000 safety-sensitive employees they plan to hire from Mesaba Aviation, Inc. d.b.a. Mesaba Airlines (Mesaba) following a transfer of assets. Pinnacle contends that both airlines have been operating safely under the listed regulations, and an exemption from these regulations would not affect safety and would be in the public interest.
