Interesting.
I like what Republic has done. They have one seniority list flying for Republic, Mid Atlantic, Shutte America, et al. It does not matter which Certificate it is, THE list does the flying. Capturing Compass & the E170/175 need not cost a dime. Have them work under their own contract on a single list. I'd rather scope IN the flying now and fix the contract once the pilots and jets are on the property. We have a better negotiating position that way and pilots do not end up losing longevity as they step across an imaginary line.
You could not be more right about JC's effect.
