Lot's of guys "gave up" their numbers and have gone back to their previous employers and I don't have any problem with that. My point was to say that if you were furloughed then you had an expectation of going back(maybe) to that company once things picked up and they needed more guys and you would have gone back to the bottom of the list which is right where you left it.

Why is it that you think the guys who WERE at the bottom of the list and should come back anywhere but the bottom? Obviously if you came back and took a position at 9E or 9L you would no longer be considered as furloughed but then you would still retain the origional number at the bottom of your origional list. Which would of course be above those hired after july 1.

If Mesaba Pilots were given recall notice and did not return then they would be at the bottom (if they got hired). But that didn't occur. Thankfully PapaMike has no tangible ability to affect the integration of furlough pilots. His lack of contract knowledge would be the company's dream come true.

They are entitled to be merged fairly with the same criteria as everyone else, and that includes their original XJ DOH.

Traditionally, though, where have furloughs fallen during a merged seniority list? If the furloughed XJ pilots were merged with their original DOH regardless of furlough status, it would be a change in how that's historically been handled.

But I need seniority dates for Colgan pilots.

Can someone give me the hire dates (month and year) of the pilots at seniority numbers 46, 93, 185, 277, and 370?

I hope you know that either of those two options alone would completely misrepresent some very large groups in each list. The best method to screw each pilot equally would be some type of blend. That should be our goal, equal screwing.
