Bartok, well said, I agree with you 100%!

As for me, DOH versus relative would be very close/negligible difference between a Pinnacle and Mesaba merger ONLY. But with Colgan added to it, DOH would put an extra 200 or so pilots below me, whereas a straight-up relative integration would put 200 Colgan pilots who are physically junior than me (hired past 2007) to go ABOVE me.

Plain and simple, it's BS. We are REGIONALS whether you like it or not, and the only fairest thing is DOH. It PROPERLY credits us for time spent at our own airline. NOTHING else would be fair. Why do you Colgan guys feel entitled to something other than DOH? Why should your years of service not count straight up? I have YET to get a straight-up shooter answer from any Colgan guy. Where are you adjwings?
