If there are more junior people at Mesaba then they could out vote the senior guys if it was ever brought to vote at mesaba. Thus giving the senior guys no choice. A SLI merger scenario would never happen to bring the regionals on board. In reality if it ever happened it would end up as a vote to bring the regional list over and put at the bottom. That would be the first big step in the right direction in this industry.

But I doubt I will even be able to hold a line eight months from now.
I personally would do it if i were you. If you are towards the bottom at XJT then the risk vs reward is worth it imho. XJT is probably going to be pretty stagnant for a while and Compass is still getting aircraft. Good luck
