Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On March 20, 2012, Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (the “Company”) entered into amendments to the Management Compensation Agreements with Messrs. Sean E. Menke and John Spanjers.  Mr. Menke's agreement as Chief Executive Officer of the Company was revised principally to reflect additional responsibilities relating to the Company’s previously announced restructuring initiatives and the impending departure of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, increase his base salary (while leaving unchanged his base salary for annual bonus calculation purposes), and eliminate his entitlement to any Long-Term Incentive Plan cash awards based upon 2012 results.  Mr. Spanjers's agreement was revised to reflect additional responsibilities relating to the Company’s restructuring initiatives and the impending departure of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, change his title from “Vice President and Chief Operating Officer” to “Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer,” and increase his base salary.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of these amendments, which are filed as Exhibit 10.100 and Exhibit 10.101, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
