This matters. Bloch needs to see. Also, Bloch needs to know (or should know) what the XJ union did in regards to recalling pilots. Either you go back to XJ and regain your original XJ seniority, or decline the recall, stay at Pinnacle, and start with Pinnacle seniority (summer 2010). I've heard they could stay for 60 days, at which, something else needs to be negotiated with the union/company. It's been 60 days, hasn't it? So what is going on? To me, it sounds almost like some furloughees were given advice to just stay put at Pinnacle until the one list. They'd much rather be RJ at DTW than forced LGA SF3, which was what they were being recalled to.

If the XJ pilots stayed at Pinnacle, did not take the recall to Mesaba, or are still waiting in the 60 day timeframe to see what happens, then where are these pilots as far as seniority list goes? Can they appear in two places at once? Once at the bottom of XJs list as furlough, awaiting recall acceptance, and once again at Pinnacle list, as a summer 2010 hire with Mesaba longevity?

I bet our union didn't forecast this when they opened the arms of grace for that MOU.
