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.
I agree with what you are saying. It is really just semantics. Pinnacle Corp. is calling it an asset transfer. The XJ contract just says that they must offer jobs to the pilots when the planes are transfered. A merger would require an equitable list merger. I don't think this is new news. Whether it can be legally pulled off or not is the next question.
