It won't be DOH, prepare yourself for that. And yes, the decisions we made early in our career may prove beneficial, or maybe not so much. Some went places and were furloughed, others hired at the same time with a different company upgraded. It's the nature of the industry. Some things don't change, if and when they do, it won't be because of anger spurred rant on an Internet forum; or the always original, never over played, blatantly selfish and unrelated argument to the sli- "that my money bought your airplanes."
Career expectation is one of the most important thing that Bloch will look at it. Republic/Frontier/Midwest/Lynx got an integration with career expectation as the primary driving factor. At the very bottom were furloughed Midwest drivers. You can bet he will also look at the airlines and where they stood when they were purchase by Pinnacle Corp. Career expectation also accounts for the fact that an airline or its pilots would have fared worse had it not been for another airline. Face it, Colgan could never have been today had it not been FOR Pinnacle Corps money. Whether YOU like it or not, the arbitrator will consider all these things.
And I still don't have an answer for my question: What's wrong with DOH? DOH will not be a windfall for any group, and if Colgan has a problem with it, then why?
