That's the wrong word used by a newspaper reporter. We all know how accurate the press is...

They will be moved into whatever certificate/ position their seniority will hold after the integration. The biggest thing holding up the integratrion on our end (RAH) is our legal counsels insistence to integrate all four airlines (yes, four, Frontier, Midwest, Lynx, and Mokulele) and 1,300 pilots into our already 2,000 pilots all at the same time. We're still waiting on the acquisition of Frontier/ Lynx in finalize.
