for the record- my previous reply did come off a bit selfish but i typed what was on my mind and won't hide my thoughts. darn alcohol filter...
now- however a list is merged/joined/stapled- does the colgan group as a whole decide if they will JOIN alpa or is it individual just as it would be if you were to just start off at pncl? i do not know of any 9e pilots who are not alpa but have heard there are just a couple old timers who never joined...
I do support possible fences and/or seat locks to keep it somewhat "fair". this would allow a saab guy to eventually bid the jet or a houston living 9e guy to fly the Q- goes both ways but i could see the jet being "high demand".
