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.

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.....

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"

Mesa and AWAC better go to the bottom if they were to merge with the wholly owneds. It would not go over well if, especially with Mesa guys getting seniority over PDT and PSA. I think a merge between PSA and PDT would be good but I do not think it should involve the contractors.

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.
