The Frontier pilots do not have a virtual blueprint. The YX/RAH acquisition is completely different than the F9/RAH deal. Midwest is flying planes that have been losing money and will be going away. It presents a very big problem to those pilots in the seniority list merger as most if not all will be furloughed by the time a deal is worked out. The F9 pilots are flying for a PROFITABLE company on airframes RAH will want to keep in service. It gives them a whole lot more bargaining power, as it should. F9's current operations should be fenced off from RAH pilots and vice versa, but the lists need to merged. The danger of not having one list is too great to ignore. I understand F9 pilots may be too proud to be on a "regional" airline seniority list, but the whipsaw possibilities are endless if they are run with two lists, or more with lynx.
