I'm starting to wonder if some people don't even know what Relative Seniority means. I know some people can't stant the thought of having a person who has been flying for three years be next to them on a seniority list when they have been flying for 5 years. If your halfway up your list and you remain halfway up the new list why should you give a damn who is next to you on the new list?
On the other hand, why should someone from one airline who is halfway up their list be pushed back towards the bottom of a new list? Because they been flying 121 for a year or two less then you? No one gets credit for 121 time served. If that is what makes sense then push for a national seniority list.
We should all just sit back, relax and wait for the people who are tasked with the job get it done. ...or you can keep the debate going but you might as well stick your head in a vice!

can anyone confirm or deny (preferably deny) that the Mesaba MEC sent a letter to the arbitrator (who then forwarded it to the Pinnacle MEC) arguing for XJ deserving better seniority because of the Jeff city and Colgan crash (safer airline should get better seniority)? I really hope this is a bs rumor I can't see any MEC stooping that low.

You only think DOH is bad idea because you do not benefit from it.
We will have to wait and see what the arbitrator comes up with, but junior Colgan guys that were fortunate enough to upgrade early are going to be junior captains a long time if XJ and 9E FOs are willing to change bases, no matter how they integrate the lists.

On the other hand, why should someone from one airline who is halfway up their list be pushed back towards the bottom of a new list? Because halfway up a list of all turboprops is not equal to halfway up a list with jets at the top and props at the bottom

I's not meant to be inflammatory (hence giving your MEC the benefit of the doubt and saying I hope it's not true) but I heard it from 2 9e guys AND and XJ pilot....had I not heard it from an XJ guy you are right it would not be noteworthy.

I can't imagine what possible benefit this would give me...The only thing I can think of is some guys trying to stop the BS from 9e about the 3 for 1 or 5 for 1 seniority credit.
Honestly I hope there is no truth to this. I'd be embarrassed if we even discussed it, let alone actually sent the letter.
Now I wasn't here when the 9e guys came over to fly the SAAB's but I know that none of the ones I spoke to over the last 8 years have said they were screwed in the deal. Plus 3 or 4 of them are still here.
Good morning.
