Lynx killed off part 2
#21
I was hired May 07... and their were two classes before me. According to APC the Jr CA on your lists were hired Jan 07. Even DOH doesn't put us after the most jr person on your list... most jr CA maybe. I don't know what the arbitrator will decide, but I wouldn't bet on DOH.

We did have some FO's that were furloughed from RAH that were called back. I hadn't heard of anyone going to RAH as a new hire (after they wanted a two year training contract?) but if they were hired I'm glad they found work.

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.

So you guys agree ALL Midwest pilots should get DOH 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.

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.
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.

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 pilot were hired. Doesn't matter what WE think about integration anyway.

1. we dont have 12 year FOs and our pay scale only goes up to 4 years.
2. our contract was written and signed before a single jet over 50 seats was on property.
3. Almost the entire lynx group was hired after the most junior person on our list. So if given "date of hire" most would be at the bottom of the list regardless.
4. we have been told that 9 Lynx pilots (along with 27 midwest) have been hired and will be given "temporary seniority numbers (at the bottom)" until the SLI is complete and then have an "adjusted seniority number" when the arbitration is complete.

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.
