As far as seniority list goes this will be a hard process to hash out. Don't get me wrong I feel for both pilot groups but it was their airlines that ended ended up failing. Midex and Frontier would both have vanished a while back had they not acquired additional funding from RAH. These airlines are not being merged they are being bought. There's no reason that I should lose my % place to someone from another failing airline. If that's the case I'd rather them be cut lose and allowed to fail on their own. Just my personal opinions but "fair and equitable" to me is not tripling the amount of time it will be before I upgrade.
You're wrong. Bedford even said on WTMJ today that this was a "merger". A relative % merger is the most fair in most eyes I would hope (this coming from someone near the bottom at Midwest), with a fence regarding bases as I do not want to commute to BUF. That's the best I can wish for. All I know is we have a merger fund and attorneys will be hired for us.
