Fair and Equitable”
The integration process largely follows the Allegheny-Mohawk LPP’s, which was a result of those airlines’ subsequent arbitration. It sets the ground rules for two (or in our case five) airlines to come together and reach an integrated seniority list. It takes into account all of the assets and expectations each group brings to the final master list. It tries to do this by limiting the negative impact from the pilots’ current status (pay, seat, lifestyle, etc.) while heavily weighing career expectations from a pre-merger standpoint. This is where the term “Fair and Equitable” comes from.
I'm not silver yet, but sometimes feel like it. If you read a little farther down is what everybody has their panties bunched about.
“Expediency”
The only pilot groups not to have pilots on furlough is Mokulele and Lynx. Midwest will have another 41 pilots on furlough September 1st, with all of their pilots on the street by December 15th. Furloughed pilots from Midwest and Frontier cannot bid for an open slot until they are on the RAH Seniority List. However, for integration purposes, pilots who were active at the time of acquisition will be considered active for the Master Seniority List. It is the resolve of all Integration Committees to get this completed as quickly as possible so we can begin to get all of our furloughees back on property.
So what about the guys that have been there 15 years plus and now are on the street, behind the 1 year RAH fo?
