Total BS. What are we supposed to do? Offer to furlough our junior guys and give their jobs to ASA? We don't have the power to do that even if we wanted to. Even a union would not be legally able to do that.
No integration = no reciprocal seniority.

I would prefer an integrated list but that's impossible unless SKW gets a union or ASA gets rid of theirs.
Our pay would be better protected in the long run, but it wouldn't be significantly better...the regional industry as a whole would not allow that. SKW/ASA is constantly undercut by mesa, pinnacle, colgan, TSA, gojet, etc, etc
