This would never happen with the new Allegheny Mohawk law signed this past December. As far as cutting into seniority and increasing upgrade time, it should be "fair and equitable." What is fair and equitable? That is between Mesa pilots, since they have a voice because they are represented by a union that is recognized by the NMB, and Skywest management to decide.
It's kind of funny. Is there any other industry where one company completely buys out another and is FORCED to hire all the previous companies employees? I am not saying this is or isn't a good thing it's just interesting to think about. Don't companies acquire other companies at times just to take their business and shut the acquired company down? I would in no way want to see this happen to any Mesa pilots or any pilot for that matter I am just curious how it works.
