Correct. To John and Jane Doe, bringing Johnny and Janey Jr to see Grandma and Grandpa Doe, the name American Eagle means nothing. However, to the people who make up the frequent flying elite at AA, American Eagle is well known...more so than the names Air Wisconsin, Republic, Mesa, etc. Which is the point I was making. If both carriers merge, I think all contracted carriers would fall under the Eagle name. Much in the same way all US's wholly owneds and contracts operate as US Airways Express.

If Eagle merges with PSA, it will not be date of hire. For one, it is against the ALPA merger policy. Second, about half or more of the captains at PSA would be junior to a lot of Eagle FO's. That is not a fair integration. Relative seniority is the only fair way to do it. That way there is no relative loss of seniority. If you do it relative, then if you are a middle of the list captain at either airline, you will still be a middle of the list captain. If you were a junior FO, you'll still be a junior FO, etc.
