I was not asked to give up seniority when the job offer was presented. But I am not going back to ride the bottom of Republic's list after they hash out where Midwest is going to fit in.

In Addition, I have no idea why I was called all of a sudden. I put my stuff in and a week later they called. No references. Interviewed and was offered a class date the nex day.

As far as I know there is no growth planned. The hiring is purely to cover increased utilization of aircraft and possible implications of new congresstional law. It is not due to new aircraft showing up or the rumors of a delta hire. 76 new guys will be added to the list. the first six started on the 3rd of december. Second class is on the 16th of december and then every two weeks thereafter until spring time. No additional info past that sorry.
