And all Mid guys would be zippered in with RAH since they are only flying 717 now, and all Mid guys on furlough would be stapled to the bottom just like the US air award. What do you all think???
ALSO I would think that the pay for RAH 190 would come up because that is getting pretty close to the capacity of the 318 and we all know the rates would not get any lower.
The first thing to do is leave the word staple out of it. That's not what anyone wants. Bedford is pretty set in saying that he will sell before he integrates the list with F9. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. And no, sorry, just because they fly the bus, doesn't make them automatically more senior to all of RAH. It will be up to the pilot groups to decide what's right if we ever get to that point.
