Pinnacle Airlines Corp., the regional carrier that flies for Delta Air Lines Inc. and others, has a “high probability” of filing for bankruptcy, according to a Maxim Group LLC analyst.

“We do not see any indicator of a significant turnaround over the next 12 months” and Pinnacle may run out of cash first, the New York-based analyst, Ray Neidl, wrote in a note to clients today. Pinnacle had $82 million in unrestricted cash on Sept. 30, according to a company statement on Nov. 3.
