Thanks for all the information from eveyone and hopefully we will hear some news soon!!
I just hope that a) This takes at least 3-6 months to happen (merging of any lists, that is), and b) There are fences in place lasting at least 1 or 2 years so I can upgrade before Colgan captains come flooding in for RJ Capt slots and knock out all those DTW capt vacancies...
Anyone have a guestimate on how long after the ruling is issued before they actually get the lists put together??? I would hope it will take at least another 3-5 months or so before the lawyers/MEC Chair/etc sets up the transition.
Any chance they would send the Q400s onto the 9E certificate? I hope that doesn't happen...it would be a junior a/c and I don't have hardly any seniority.
