By your logic, 9E and 9L would have continued to run short and XJ would have possibly had to furlough. I will grant you, they should have organized the merger in a more organized fashion, but if they were properly staffed in the first place, maybe what you suggested might have worked better.
No. By my logic, each airline should have had to their own pilots into their own classes based on their own operating certificate. Or they could have hired as "Corp" and then assigned a class to either Colgan or Pinnacle.
