Thanks for NOT answering my question. I didn't ask is there a difference. I already understand the difference because I am not mainline and rules and equality do NOT apply at the regional level. Only at the mainline. I fail to see your analogy about selling. PNCL was FORCED into bankruptcy by DAL because that's what DAL wanted! So as long as you work for the carrier that is doing the forcing its ok. Based on history I am sure DAL and ALPA would have been there for everyone that lost jobs at Pinnacle if they were dissolved or liquidated so unemployment would be short lived right?
Is there a difference between acquired and bought? Acquired or bought for mainline- employees get integrated.
For a regional they may get an interview maybe or just look for jobs elsewhere.
