DOH isn't based on the most junior CA. I'm no CA and I was here before Lynx even existed. So yes DOH would probably put Lynx after the most jr person. What's the most senior DOH at your company?

Thank you. You pretty much beat me to it. How can they expect a Lynx or Midwest person to sign a two year contract as a new hire when you wouldn't have to via the SLI?? I'll wait and see what the arbitrator decides...I want the ability to bolt the minute I find something better.

So what you're saying is that if you were to buy a comapny like Virgin America they should go at the bottom because they didn't exist when you were hired??? There's more to it than just date of hire. If you guys want DOH for us so bad then how about you give it to Midwest too.

Let me spell it out clearer for you... Our first class was Jan/07 and your most Jr CA was hired Jan/07... so if we were integrated based on DOH our Sr pilots could bid for the next upgrades and possibly get it? The previous poster said all of lynx was hired after all of the RAH pilots were hired. Maybe when the bulk of FO's were hired... but not all below the most Jr RAH FO. The first 2 classes averaged 8+ yrs 121 but were tired of commuting. So now we are all to be FO's and commute to the East coast? No thanks.

So you guys agree ALL Midwest pilots should get DOH too?

You guys would still be a little short of holding Capt here based on the hire dates given. I don't even know why all of you toss around your opinions on what is fair or isn't with respect to integration. It's out of our hands. I'm just chilling and "que sera sera". Personally, not that it matters, I've always thought date of hire with no bump or flush was fair. However that only being the case when all sides bring aircraft with them. In this situation there aren't going to be a whole lot of Q or 717 seats.

No, there is hiring going on. Going from Lynx to RAH is not a "recall." People have "interviewed" but I am not sure if anyone has taken it. I sure hope not, with that BS 2 year contract, that should be waived to the Midex and Lynx people who choose to go to RAH.

Don't make the mistake that I'm talking about how I think integration should go. Not voicing my opinion at all. Honestly with my job here, trying to start my side business, and several other things there's simply no way I'd have the time to completely assess the situation. My response was in direct response to yours. For some reason you're mentioning the most junior CA and then saying DOH should be used. I was simply pointing the fact that most FO's here have more longevity than any CA there. You should broaden your scope if DOH is your reasoning.

You think I used DOH reasoning? Nope. I tried to leave my sarcasm out when I said "I wouldn't put money on DOH"... maybe thick sarcasm would have helped. I was correcting a previous posters incorrect knowledge of when myself and other unemployed Lynx pilots were hired. Doesn't matter what WE think about integration anyway.

BB told Lynx "I will grow Lynx or combine you with another certificate". F9 was told "I will keep your operation separate". Midwest was told their pilots would be flying their routes. Excuse us for being edgy.

I apologize then I think I misunderstood your post. Just thought I'd add a little clarification(guess I didn't). Free beer on me still :)

Okay I stand corrected..... first year $21
second $31
third $34
fourth $37
fifth $37
sixth-twelfth $37

Absolutely amazing. And there is no excuse for the "we didn't have jets, and we have no twelve year F/Os" mentality. That pay scale is an embarassment and an insult to every airline pilot flying today.
