I see that just like SJS and I wouldn't take the bait. Comair's contract is open for negotiations next year, so don't think for a minute that the Comair guys won't be fighting snapbacks from the BK as well as getting back what we have lost since 2005. I would be hard pressed to give up any kind of seniority over 6 months right now with everything that is going on. Let's say Comair, Compass, Mesaba, or Pinnacle get merged. On a date of hire seniority integration, you would be giving up your 6 months to a year and a half of seniority. Now if you stay, you will have seniority over everyone that is getting on with Mesaba right now. I just think there is too much risk invovled when you could keep your number right now and get a non-flying job in the meantime. You would most likely enjoy your QOL waiting for a recall as well.
