Not that it matters but Eagle was hiring and I know of at least one person that declined the interview to go to Pinnacle in order to stay in his old base and keep seniority/accrue longevity.
I'm not too good to accept Pinnacle first year pay. I probably would have still taken the job if that was the case, knowing it was temporary (unless I had to resign XJ seniority then I wouldn't have). But the company and the union were able to do a nice thing for us by honoring our experience at Mesaba, what's wrong with that?
