Thanks I really think I might wait till Monday to reply. I would agree with take the seniority, however I think either one would be an ok commute and it is only 1 day (June 6th vs. June 7th). I could go Mesaba direct CHO-LGA or I could go Colgan CHO-IAD then there's lot's of flights from IAD to BOS i could hop on to go work, if I were to miss CHO-IAD I could suck it up and drive 95 miles from my house to the airport. Plus if the Saab IAD base for Colgan is junior I should be able to hold that soon hopefully and then it would be basically the same no?
I guess it all depends on the SLI, if I go to mesaba and can bid the Colgan bases that would be awesome, but does anyone really know how long it will take for the operating certificates to be integrated making that a possibility?
