You're suggesting it is still flawed, correct?
Your example is ridiculous. Why would size of aircraft matter in an arbitrated SLI? Career expectations, DOH, and relative seniority all are good barometers for a seniority list merger.
The bottom line is there is never going to be a perfect way to do combine lists. Someone will always be upset.
A Colgan pilot just said "career expectations.". There should be a law against that.
Like the outcome or not, that MEC did exactly what had to be done to save 2,500 pilot jobs. They did a great job. Chastise me for that one, but it is true.
It was a bluff. Delta isn't stupid to wait and see if 9E votes yes and then decide what happens. Delta knows already who will be in the regional game. You voted No? Just the same way I'm sure you didn't bid to come to the jets. As for the other people in support positions, mist of those are MEM people and the majority are not moving to cold MSP. They will try and find employment elsewhere, like Fedex.
