As another RAH pilot I can say that reading our in-house boards, Chance speaks from a VERY small minority. Most seem to agree that a % integration, DL/NW style is the way to go, with a timed fence. I'd say there's a 0% chance of a flush-bid where guys get displaced out of base/equipment.

Most of us agree that in this scenario everyone wins. Guys at the purchased entities keep their base/seat/pay, and we get enhanced pay for our equipment and the chance to bid to better things in the future.

I don't hear any of the rational voices calling for the ability to bid guys out of their seats/bases.

The only sticking point I see is what to do about furloughs. I do hear many make the argument that those on furlough be stapled below ours on furlough. If you have no base/equipment currently, some say our guys should get their jobs back first, since its our money that's funded all this. I tend to agree with that, but don't expect that F9 or MW guys would.
