Anyone(colgan, pinnacle, or mesaba) who has an opportunity to upgrade into a saab will be looking at lower salary than is currently in your future. That is not a win.
You are looking at this strictly on payrates, and the Mesaba successorship scope clause.
How familiar are you with the current Mesaba contract? The one that you would rather merge with. PBS solutions, vacation, and insurance are all areas I've been told are impoved in the JCBA from the current MSA.
Not to mention the biggest gain - eliminating the whipsaw.
