What make you think that Mesaba would be ahead of everyone at Comair. do you think they would staple Comair to the bottom of Mesaba's list? It would never happen. It wouldn't matter if you are furloughed. Even on furlough you retain your seniority number. Seniority is Seniority. Like the last guy said too, you saw how fast Comair was hiring to turn around and furlough. The same can happen at Mesaba. I honestly think it could be a chess move to get guys with 1 year seniority at one airline to start over again. It buys Big Daddy D another year of low paid first year pilots. Cost savings. Delta hires some of the best bean counters around.
