3. join the combined seniority list and be assigned to the E190, regardless of base
4. join the combined seniority list and hold whatever aircraft and base your new seniority number allows.
Just my opinion Right Seat, and I am sure many feel different for their own reasons. I lean towards whatever gets the most people back to work the quickest. My guess would be any airplane/anywhere would accomplish that the quickest.
My next choice would be any Mke flying with a fence, since I live in Mke. (Obviously, for many others that's irrelevant). My last choice would be fenced flying for E-190 only, as that could have a VERY limiting effect, depending on the number of E-190s coming on property.
As an aside, in a later post you ask if willing to fly E-135 at published rates. I am a little confused here. I was under the impression that with a merged list we would be flying under the current RAH contract. Am I missing something? If Republic offers me a chance to fly an E-135 I would take it, as it is better than unemployment and keeps me flying. As far as I know the rate is already set, but maybe I have a misconception.
