Perhaps the RAH pilots will learn from the Airways integration debacle and ensure that Midwest and Frontier guys are base, seat, and pay protected. Even the furloughees. If RAH is going to stop selling it to every major with an open checkbook and become an actual airline (instead of a merely a lift sub-contractor) I think the pilot group would benefit from the experience those guys have.

On the other hand RAH's pilots outnumber Midwest and Frontier pilots combined by 2 to 1. Its not inconceivable that they all get stapled to the bottom of RAH's list and Captains with 10 to 20 years experience wind up junior to RAH pilots who were literally still in diapers when these "New Hires" started at MidEx or Frontier.
