No we were talking about SLI. Which by definition in this case will include Midwest, RAH, Frontier, and as you pointed out Lynx, and more than likely all sides will be upset when it's all said and done.

I'd still bet you know more than we (RAH) do, which is the ever present blanket statement "More to come."

If you know very little about integration talks, why would you make a blanket statement regarding a lock out? This stuff takes time and everyone wants in done yesterday. For what it's worth I hope our EXCO does present a LOA for the Midwest pilots. It's the right thing to do by all accounts, but the constant attacks on our company is not going to do you any favors. BTW, all parties involved INCLUDING Midwest were present last week for integration talks. Good luck, I really hope it works for everyone so we can all move forward.
It took Mesa 4-6 weeks to integration five (5) separate pilot groups after buying Crown Airways, Air Midwest, ...
It has been 4-5 months and the talks are just starting. I believe the Republic EXCO could have offered a short term LOA for the Midwest pilots so that all pilot groups are treated fairly.
The only logical answer on why a LOA was not made for the Midwest pilots. The Republic pilots want all the fly... rightfully or not. Midwest pilots have legal rights to these jobs. Republic can delay/block/undermine or join all these pilots together in a fair process.
