It's unlikely that they will be able to keep all of the pilots from all three airlines. Assuming the RAH pilots don't cave on their contract, and they demand integration of all three pilot groups, strictly looking at the staffing numbers at both Midwest and Frontier, a single list under the RAH staffing rules will require less crews per frame on average. Not to mention the fact that right off the bat the 717's are going away, and I've yet to see whether or not they will replace the ones on property only, or the entire original fleet, which would leave out the Midwest furloughs depending on integration guidelines.
