What's the current thought on the integration since all of the airlines you mentioned have furloughs except Mokulele? Will all the furloughed pilots be stapled on the bottom of the list including the furloughed pilots of Midwest/Frontier or is there a push to give them a good spot on the over all list? I realize its not fair for someone who is currently on property to be put to the street, but when an opening does happen are they just going to fill that position based on the system seniority or will they displace/furlough guys once the list is completed? And lastly are they still hinting at a fense structure due to the Frontier pilot group or would the Midwest pilots be included in that group of pilots due to their previous aircraft? Seems like a lot of areas that are uncertain especially since it appears you are about to double in size. And if you cannot answer some of those questions I do understand. I just want to get a bettere gut feeling about those pilots at Midwest but I just have an awful feeling about it. But perhaps the RAH group will shock me and do something to get them where they belong instead of on the bottom of a regional list....
And lastly I keep hearing this word of GROWTH? How much more can RAH grow? Are they wanting to push the Midwest/Frontier flying into a larger product and take the regional aircraft and feed them or what's the thought there? I just dont see any legacy airline giving them more flying due to there being ZERO flying to be given to anyone with the cuts being back to min contracts on nearly every regional feed.... So it leaves me thinking the growth would be under Midwest/Frontier with more E190's and Airbus?
The pilots at Midwest will not allow our furloughed pilots who lost their jobs to the 170s of Republic to be stapled on the bottom of any list especially when their over all seniority number is higher than %98 of all the combined airlines in this merger. It isn't going to happen.
