I can't quote where it exactly says this, but I was told that both ASA and XJT MEC agreed to have everyone who were hired after the merger announcement to be integrated by DOH. Honestly, if you're hired after the announcement, you knew that was a good possibility. In my opinion, it makes sense. Seniority should be back to straight date of hire again starting some point on the merger timeline, no?

It's pretty standard that after merger hires are DOH.

You bring up a very good point that no one has ever mentioned. Everyone has always said that SLI will not make a difference to those hired after purchase announcement. But the fact is that those on the ERJ side hired after the announcement may not want a bunch of people slotted ahead of them on ISL. But hey, XJT was gonna shut down and go completely out of business.
What a ****ed up world we live in amIright?!

Same type of arguements that came out when airlines started transitioning to two man cockpits. Airlines are a business, not a job core. As long as a fair amount of savings is transferred to pilot compensation Dual Qual should be embraced by the pilot group just like PBS was.
Oh wait...you guys probably mean common category flying between the CR2/CR7/CR9, since they are all the same type, right?
Dual qual = one dude flying two types (ERJ and CRJ, for instance). It wasn't a big deal that it was used incorrectly when there was only one type on property, but now you've got two different types. To call flying a CRJ and a CRJ dual qual is stupid.
I guess I shouldn't care, since ignorant people don't give a sh!t, but I have to try.
