I'm getting quite a chuckle reading the "Pinnacle/Mesaba List Is Out" thread.
2008 hires arguing because they won't upgrade right away, 2002 hires arguing that a hundred junior guys are ahead of him, some other guy is griping because he lost 8% seniority on the new list, etc.
Show them where they'd fall on the unmerged Comair list and they would see what a real regional but rape looks like.
I guess it's true - pilots can't be happy until they have something to complain about.
