XJ 9E 9L SLI Thread
#521
I wouldnt think the same applies here...neither XJ or 9L were in bankruptcy, and both have airframes (I.e. 900 and Q400) that are desirable right now to mainline, so both were technically in a somewhat stable longterm situations. Delta sold XJ to Corp without any choice in the matter, considering OO wanted to purchase XJ... same with Compass...F9 had a option to be bought by SWA...Not to mention two different unions...I don't see any similarities
The fact that Mesaba was sold to Pinnacle was a windfall for XJ pilots.

Sadly I am afraid, that just like every single other SLI in history, this will result in one pilot group pitted against another. Frankly it is impossible to do a SLI that is completely fair to everyone involved. It cannot be done. Good luck to all involved, I have friends still at Mesaba.

The only scenario in which there would not be eventual unity is if the pcl proposal is adopted.

I don't think so. I think eventually/gradually everyone will come together, especially if there is expansion/growth/new opportunities borne of the merger. I have a feeling there will be significant growth on the Q once we get this mess sorted out.

Using your logic, I would argue the fact that we brought a respectable concessionary contract and the best safety record to the table gave 9E pilots a windfall...good thing I don't use your logic though...

Would you say the same for the former NWA guys or the current Airtran guys...

I understand from an email from our committee that 9E proposed a status and category merge. I have asked a few guys on the line and no one can give me a straight answer. Can anyone explain what this would mean? I'm probably late to the party and it probably doesn't matter anymore and I understand DOH and relative, but what is a status and category merge? Are we talking about current seat, current airplane? Can anyone explain?
