BAH! There it is again!
2. The maximum number of Mesaba pilots Flowing Up shall be:
a. ten percent (10%) of the Total Pilot Group over a rolling
twelve (12) month period, and
b.
no more than nine (9) pilots a month (three (3) pilots per
month for the period January 1, 2008 through
September 30, 2008).

Good post though!
AND, Where is this 170 poolies number coming from? I honestly have no idea if that's right or wrong, but in reading the Delta thread; they're all saying between 35 and 50 poolies. (consider the source)
I wholly agree though, the poolies should have first dibs after the furloughees...
SEEEEEEEYA!
