You think the fences will come down that fast? I'm not disagreeing, I just have no concept of how quickly they would get things coming together, what with uniforms and differences training, etc. Wouldn't we all have to go through a shortened Mesaba indoc of sorts? Seems like a pretty big undertaking. I honestly have no idea how it's all going to work out, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm sure it goes both ways too, with some senior Pinnacle FOs wanting to get into the left seat of anything, including the Saab. I feel like finishing SLI and actually making us one, whole, interchangeable pilot group are two very different things with totally different time tables. Also, I could be way off base here too, but I thought somewhere in the contract where Mesaba Saab drivers hired before a certain date were working on a higher wage scale.
