So Republic buys Lynx, how are Lynx pilots not Republic pilots now? They may not be on the same seniority list... YET, but that's not management's fault, that's because of the arbitration process.

Merging the Lynx ops and planes into the Republic certificate is a clear violation (not that the Company really cares). I personally have no problem letting you guys fly your planes on the certificate provided the Company:
1. Signs the FO LOA.
2. Pay you guys what's listed in our CBA regardless if it says "turbojet".
3. Once the SLI is finished we have a flush bid for bases.
