So Winglets,
What you are saying is no different than a comair, mesaba, and compass pilot that is furloughed, should then be able to be recalled when any delta wholly owned starts recalling, correct? And why stop there? Shouldn't a comair 9 year fo be able to jump over to compass and be the most senior captain? Or even better, a 20 year mesaba guy can just bid over to the left seat 767 doing international delta stuff.
I chose SkyWest. I waited until I had the mins at the time (1000). I could have gone to asa a year earlier (much lower mins). Not from atl, so it was of no interest to me. Your option would screw over guys that did that.
Btw, I voted alpa. I still want alpa. I want one list, but integretion will be a little tricky, and there will have to be some give and take.
It is upon the backs of SkyWest pilots that the company prospered enough to be able to buy ASA outright. Now, even though we are separate lists, AND companies, we are working together to make Inc strong. Hopefully to our benefit.
A little something to think about.
