14 The ISL contains the names of some 59 pilots who currently hold both Mesaba and Pinnacle seniority numbers. Unless an existing agreement provides otherwise, these pilots are to select one number or the other at or before achievement of the Single Operating Certificate.
It was only mentioned in a footnote, and not even discussed as furloughed pilots. They show up because they were furloughed from Mesaba and hired by Pinnacle after the merger announcement, and ended up on the list mixed in by DOH with the Turboprop FO silo ahead of all Constructive Notice Pilots. Even stranger they were placed on the list twice, first for their position on the Pinnacle list which put them in the Constructive Notice Group and second for their Mesaba hire date which moved them up the list quite a bit, and then they got to chose which number they wanted to pick. The latter part has been explained to me by a Colgan pilot, but I do not have access to the actual list so I can not verify the facts other than to say the footnote in the ISL decision clearly indicates they exist.
