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.

whoa... re read everyones post. I said he would be ahead of everyone on comairs seniority list that is currently on furlough. The guy you quoted was giving up his seniority number with comair because he is being furloughed. Then you mentioned a DOH integration. If he was to be furloughed by comair and hired by mesaba and then merged he would be ahead of anyone at comair who is still furloughed!

Go through every single ALPA merger. No one who is furloughed at time of merger is ever ahead of anyone at the other company who is currently online. Never!
