******ATTENTION!!! THE FOLLOWING IS PURE SPECULATION!!!! *******

Here is how this will play out:

YX, while integration talks happen, they will lose the last of the 717s. Thus furlough for all their guys. This sucks. This will most likely involve a screw job on the YX pilots when it comes to integration. I hope I am wrong. But don't furloughed people on an integration get usually screwed?

F9 will be different. They will get a relatively better deal in integration than their XY counterparts. Their airline, in my opinion, has/had a better future than XY. XY was in serious danger of being an airline with no planes. We will never really know if the airline would have existed if RAH did not come in and buy them out, since the purchase will occur before the last 717 comes offline.

Lynx, will probably be as close to a staple as you can get if it is not really a staple. This airline did not start flying till, correct me if I am wrong, Dec. 2007. That is really close to the bottom of the RAH seniority list. This may benefit the guys coming from XY if they get integrated before the Lynx group, not that T-Prop flying is something a XY pilot would run to do.

This would all happen(MAYBE, as this speculation on my part), if RAH is the highest bidder for F9 and the Midwest deal does not fall through.
