So if they had 2 years at mesaba they come over here as 2nd year pay on the pinnacle contract but as new hires as far as seniority.
Dont you guys get the same FAQ's that we get? What I posted is almost word for word what our company has stated in calls and in the memos they have posted. Im not starting anything. I am simply repeating what the company is saying. I am not making this stuff up.
Furloughed Mesaba pilots still retain their original seniority at Mesaba while employed at 9E or 9L. This will be used for future seniority integration. Read your union updates, it's all listed there.
"Who moves and how they move will be subject to negotiation with ALPA, and ALPA also will determine how these pilots will be integrated into Pinnacle’s seniority list. Management does not do that."
Here's from our FAQ. Note it doesn't say integrating at year one/new hire. It specifically states that this is a union matter. Even the company knows this.
Anyone else here who has questions either email/phone your rep or wait for the ACTUAL meetings between the Union/Company to commence and then find out the true facts.
