At XJ, there are a lot of Saab Captains and a few FO's that can hold jet Captain positions.
So, you create a list as IF these pilots were already in these seats, and then merge the lists together.
And it has to be decided how to integrate each category between companies. DOH, 2 for 1, Relative.......

Just making a point to your counter point to his point. You can see why this is in arbitration, it's complicated.
6 or so more days, stay strong folks.

Seniority List Integration
This week, Mr. Block, the arbitrator who is presiding over our seniority list integration, notified all 3 merger committees that his Decision and Award is almost complete and will be released on or before next Friday, May 20.
In the mean time, all pilots need to begin mentally preparing for a decision which may or may not be viewed as favorable when considered by the individual pilot. With the exception of one or two of our pilots, every pilot can expect to move down the Integrated Seniority List exponentially when compared to their current seniority standing.
Also remember in this integration there is no “bumping” and no “flushing” of the seniority list. With respect to your current vacancy award, no one can be removed from their position solely as a result of the arbitrator’s award.
Once we accept these facts, we can begin to move forward as one company, making this merger a success and working together with our brethren from Mesaba and Colgan as new colleagues

Anyone wonder where Mesaba's pilots for the 21 saab's that are being phased out will end up? If Colgan does not get more q's I see displacement bids to find a home for the 200 or so Mesaba pilots leading to the F word.

It sounds like they already know something though.

It's just if a pilot is used to a number, let's say 500 at 9E, they will have to get used to a number that is a good bit greater than that after the dust settles.
