Not a feeling I would like to have as an employee operating within a CBA.

Good grief guys. Let it go.

109 more flights and another 1600 people in the aviation industry will be out of work and another regional airline will be no more.

Learn from the past, but let the arguments rest.

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!
