The original freedom guys were alter ego guys on a different seniority list to Mesa. Most of which were Mesa FO's that jumped ship for a Captain spot. After effort and a concessionary contract Mesa ALPA managed to tighten up the contract scope and bring all freedom A listers onto the Mesa seniority list. After the single seniority list Mesa pilots staffed freedom and the A lister alter ego airline lost its alter ego status. This is what I hoped would happen at Trans States with their Alter!
