The chips will fall where they fall. I have been rather "upbeat" by the future possibilities, but if I (as a 9E guy) get bumped out of my seat/base by XJ guys off the Saab it's going to be quite a personal battle to hold my thoughts. Looking at the staffing everyone should be able to be absorbed, but that doesn't mean anything because it makes sense.

I have my own demons with this thing.
As a 10 year XJ guy, I bid the same as someone at 680 on 9E's old seniority list after the SLI.

I have also heard the vacancy will have openings for SF340 for Colgan Saabs. These positions should be outside the fenced slots allowing anyone to bid them.

A friend of mine just pointed out that my above post was wrong. He says that 9E cannot bid Saab captain even if the numbers are above the fenced positions. I did not know this so I looked it up.
If you use the logic that 9E doesn't have Saabs, then why is the Q400 written like this:
Bloch is a dumbass.
For a period of five years beginning with the submission of the Integrated Seniority List, no Pinnacle pilot may be awarded or displaced to a Saab-340 captain position, and no pre-merger Colgan pilot may be awarded or displaced to a Saab-340 captain position unless Mesaba pilots maintain 129 Saab-340 captains.
For a period of five years beginning with submission of the integrated seniority list, no pre-merger Pinnacle or Mesaba pilots may be awarded or displaced to a Q-400 captain unless Colgan pilots maintain 193 Q-400 captain positions.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and declare that the first vacancy will be an absolute mess/disaster and will aslo include 9 revisions (+/- 3.5) before all is said and done. I feel for the pencil pushers who will have to comb over these awards to make sure they comply with Bloch's ridiculous "fences." Should be fun to watch though, this is when the real "I got hosed/screwed/%&$#ed!!!!!" will start flying around. The newbies will get to watch an airline implode from the inside out. Pop the corn and set up the washers games. Gonna be a bloch party.
