Nobody went to Mesaba ten years ago because "Delta won't be able to sell Comair" and nobody went to Comair because "Mesaba guys are gonna get hosed in a SLI with Pinnacle"
The Mesaba guys should probably be glad they aren't owned by Delta any more.
Just like us Comair guys should be glad we're not the Libyan Air Force.

Senior Pinnacle guys are ****ED they think they got 3:1'd again and are mad about it. Pinnacle asked for status and category, they might have come out better DOH... The middle of Pinnacle made out pretty good. The middle of Mesaba did not good and then the bottom of Mesaba did not good. Seems like colgan did better than Mesaba and worse than Pinnacle except for the top.

Even if Mesaba had not been sold and lost all the Saabs and not gotten any more flying, it's still not guranteed that Mesaba pilots would all be worse off. Had we not been sold, we would have kept the flow at the least. Our top guy would still be the #1 900 Captain living wherever he wanted getting whatever schedule he wanted and not part of 9E. Meanwhile, our lowest furlough, years later would eventually be recalled from attrition and the flow. Mind you, I think the furlough is better off since he gets a job way sooner, but the point is that the worst case scenerio for Mesaba is not as cut and dry as you might think.
It's also not a likely scenerio anyway. Another scenerio is that 9E, the disaster area that massivly cancels flights due to it's leaderships' endless incompetence and rufusal to staff, would have been parted out to better carriers.

What I want to see is how all plays out in bidding in current bases. For example. I am top 10 CRJ2 FO in MSP. I want to know how this works for me now when I am integrated with 9E in MSP. I make just as much as a saab captain with my schedule and open time pick ups, and have a far better quality of life than being out of base saab captain in LGA. I want to see how I will fair under the new MSP base this fall when we all are together. Do I still remain in the top 10% or do I say screw it and take a saab captain out of base.
