It would have given each ASA and Comair pilot a seniority number at Delta running concurrently to Delta new hires when they checked out as a RJ Captain after a administrative interview to make sure they met all Delta basic requirements. (no criminal record, DUI's ect.). They would then have to fly 3 years as a RJ Captain. At that point they would then transfer to the mainline with the seniority number acquired 3 years earlier. JC turned it down as a insult since he would go behind existing FE's at Delta. The rest is as they say history!
Sounds like a good deal to me. I must be lacking that certain arrogance that comes from being an ALPA officer.

If this is true then every Capt now on the property would be over at Delta and not worrying about feeding their families.
A FE at DL is lightyears ahead of a CMR Capt anyway. One is "on the list" and one is not.
I enjoyed my flying at CMr and the people. It was not a place to end up though. Sad for those that thought so.

I've been told by a few sources that we will be getting the merger money back, but does anyone know when we should expect to get it?

I'd expect them to wait a while...just because they can.

You never know who will buy the certificate!!! (sarcasm)

I quit 2 years ago so my merger money should have been returned the day I resigned...pay for your own merger fund.

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the merger fund about 250 dls?. I'd like severance instead.

It was $240, but was told to expect getting $220-$230 back because they have spent some of it on legal fees.

Yea, and those there until the end deserve some sort of severance, but those of us that quit deserve our cash back.
