You might be able to staff some of it with the Republic pilots, but most of them won't start over and only 50% of the jobs will be captain spots.[/QUOTE]

Let's hope so. That's the only way they will sweeten the contracts awarded...if they are forced to because pilots are unwilling to start over somewhere else. I don't have much faith in that. 90% of my classmates at AWAC were former Comair pilots.
