Wouldn't that mean that the 717s wouldn't be sent to the RAH pilots on the Republic certificate and the RAH pilots wouldn't be sent over to the Midwest cert? Aircraft nor pilots have been interchanged the way I read it. No 717s are flying with RAH pilots and no RAH aircraft are being flown by midwest pilots.

There are 5 companies to be integrated. It doesn't really seem that wild of an idea that they want to get them all lined up to do at once. I've only been around 121 for a few years but haven't most integrations taken more than 3 months? If so it seems a little unfair to say everyone is dragging their feet.
