The Bloch SLI did not respect seniority and longevity as we know it. Therefore, I do advocate out of seniority furlough. For example, if the Colgan Saabs are parked, I don't think any 9E or XJ pilot should be affected. They should downgrade and furlough the Colgan Saab pilots from the original Colgan list.

Thanks for your useless contribution.
What world do you live on to think that Bloch had to look out for the company on the SLI? The company knew what the deal was, they just "hoped" for large fences.
Second, not that many respect your views on this forum, but your total lack of respect for any of your fellow pilots and ignorance of seniority just shows how clueless people can be.
Like it or not, you are 1800 on the list. Talk to your boys if you don't like that.
First, have it fall under a reasonable expectation catalog. Arbitrator Dana Eischen, in the Frontier/Republic/Lynx/Midwest merger, protected the queen of the fleet, the Airbus by a 7-year fence. Arbitrator Eischen clearly was smart enough to see that everyone and their mother would want to bid over to the Airbus. To protect both the Frontier pilots' large fleet type, and also realizing it represented the highest pay for the airline pilot group, the arbitrator put in place a 7 year fence. This fence is reasonable and expected. Sure, the arbitrator could have said screw this, and not have any fences, but there was one. It's a binding arbitration award.
Second, what lack of respect? Where have I disrespected you? In fact, not a single post of mine has ever had language, cuss words, or ever been edited for TOS violations by a moderator in regards to Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan threads. Meanwhile, others here have had their posts edited because they start cussing and violating TOS. Just see for yourself. I actually have the ability to write out well thought out paragraphs, even if you disagree with it.
As for my position on the SLI, it is what it is, and there is no point in talking to any boys. They can't do anything about it. However, I will still speak up for what's in the best interest of the 9E pilots. You may say you're Pinnacle and that we're all Pinnacle, but that's not true. Management made it clear that the Colgan certificate would continue for prop operations. Now if the Saab and/or Q fleet is parked, of course I'll speak up for the best interest of the 9E group: out of seniority order furloughs. The 9E pilots already took a brunt of the force from the Mesaba Saab displacements, the last thing we need is another displacement and downgrades for 9E pilots to accomodate Colgan's downfall.
Before you flip out and attack me, realize that I've posted what I think is a well-written, thought out post. Please try and do the same, instead of attacking and violating TOS (you know who you are).
