Initially fences can be set up so that current RJ guys would be fenced into RJ bidding over a period of say 5 years, after which there would be one integrated pilot group. Yes, the seniority list will eventually be merged but we are in a unique time where a stapling of the RJ guys to the bottom of the list, would not affect the QOL for 95% of both groups. I know this concept is not perfect, but it sure is a better alternative than 20 more years of the current arrangement.
When I was at Eagle, I would have gladly accepted fences and a staple for 10 years, at least there would have been hope.
