I'll add this, Shyguy. You don't work for Endeavor. You never have. Pinnacle doesn't exist, same with Mesaba and Colgan. This is a new airline with completely different management, contract, union reps, most procedures, and a large number of aircraft. Referencing what happened during contract negotiations at 9e years ago would be like a Northwest guy saying that DL's contract is unfair because of some previous Northwest situation.
9E's past is irrelevant. So is XJ and 9L. None of them exist. Move on. Extending an existing LOA does not harm ANYONE. It only benefits, and shows a commitment to pilots who are currently on property.
