PSA and Piedmont is the more plausible merger scenario. . .

It's a lot easier to merge carriers with different fleet types. You can just move the manuals over, and that's it. All PDT pilots would have to be retrained on Envoy 145 procedures, the planes would have to be bridge checked when moving over, we use DECS, PSA and Piedmont both(correct me if I'm wrong) use FLICA, and so on.

Mergers are about saving money. Whatever costs them the least amount of money and will realize them the biggest savings is what they’ll do.

Piedmonsters are good people. I'd merge with them.

Yeah? Dovetail them in based on relative seniority? Or staple them to the bottom? How would you like to see the seniority lists merged if you were in charge?

Can't staple any more.
And there's a lot of respect between PDT and Envoy unions, I'm sure they would find a good solution for the SLI.

Even though it really isn't the plausible merger any time soon.

so what do you have? Paper bidding with chalk and blackboard roasters? Check in with punching a time card at the ops?
we'll get along just fine if so.

we actually fax our bids in, so we’re a little ahead but will be glad to share that technology with you.

(seriously, still an option to fax bids in here at Piedmont)

I'd prefer not to merge, but if we did I would hope it was with Piedmont. I always liked that pilot group.
