We have agreements in place and they are not part of it. People have been waiting years/decade + for this opportunity.. And we have arbitration awards in place. If they think they would just let RAH pilots mix in and cut in line over Eagle pilots they have another thing coming.

Plus any seniority integration would be a nightmare of people getting f-d over.. like the pinno-co-laba mess. Eagle is way more of a senior airline than RAH.
Actually besides some pre 96 hires at eagle about 400 guys, the two are a similar foot print, esp post 2000 which makes up the vast majority of pilots. They would need some senior pilot fences to keep the senior eagle guys and the senior rah guys happy, however outside that it's fairly similar, we went on the same hiring binges the last 15 years and have similar upgrade times and fo seniority. Further the senior 400 at eagle is our managements biggest complaint, they would love to screw that group.
