We'll I'm a PDT guy and I can't speak for all of us, but I feel that most would like the merger. PSA guys would most likely prefer separate opps, because PDT isn't bringing anything to the table that they want.

That is just my opinion though.

At least the PDT guys would get the chance to fly the jets they were suppose to get.

Don't be so sure, have you seen our flight attendants?

What our old ladies who have been here for 20+ years, or the fat ones who have been here for 10+ years, or the really hot 20 year olds who are furloughed right now?

I do not see PSA/PDT merging.... It may be cheaper to merge and save money via less management. But you are looking at all the senior CA's at PDT now making roughly $30 plus more per hour..... Seeing that all of them are very senior this comes down to money... The 2 million does not seem to include the fact that now you have PDT Senior CA's making over $30 more an hour to fly the jet (if allowed through a merger).

Now PSA being sold to Airwisky??? Or Airwisky buying the leftovers of Mesa??? Or even Mesa just renewing the 900's for a CHEAP rate??? Now those seem more likely then PDT/PSA.....

It may be painful for me to admit this, but I do agree with you here. Those may be the more likely scenarios especially seeing how they aren't willing to go through the effort of consolidating that which they own. The seniority thing however could be affected by the rumored 'early retirement program' which may or may not hit PDT later this year.

But I do think its BS that a guy compensated in the MILLIONS of dollars per year can say with a straight face, "Yea we could do that, and save the company some real money, but well gosh darn it thats just too much stinkin work"

Why should AWAC or MESA be stapled? Should we all follow ALPA policy?

Yeah, I can just see that happening with the AWAC guys. Nice attitude though.

dashtrash300,

Hypothetically, what if Piedmont or PSA were sold? How should that seniority integration be handled?

Why would you not want all the regionals that independent that fly for airways (AWAC PDT PSA) to try to merge and create a larger, more powerful voice to be herd? Divide and conquer doesn't work my friend.
