I still think this is just a rumor to keep rats from jumping ship but even if there were a buyout and it makes sense to keep TSA separate, would they have to bring tsa into one seniority list?

Yes RP contract requires one list and one contract. Why would BB be interested in keeping TSA pilots from jumping ship unless he wants the company?

Yes seniority lists will have to be integrated. From the sounds of the details and the plan to keep the two companies separate until the 145 contracts are up, the seniority list of the 145 pilots should be about the same as they stand at TSA. For the GoJet and Compass guys though who will be on the 175 then that might be a much bigger issue. Not sure what they plan to do with that. With the different unions involved it will no doubt be a headache.

Right. Why would Delta but a regional when they can hire off the street with less hassle. They aren't buying compass

The teamsters have screwed us over a few times but I’d still take them over alpa. Remember endeavor alpa started the 12/4 longevity scale a few years back. All in all as of 2015 and later I’ve been happy with the teamsters. On the rah side we are hearing all 3 tsh Airlines with a wind down erj’s and crj’s. After the nightmare of a seniority integration, I think it will be a good thing. Hopefully it will give the contract carriers a little more price control and in turn raise wages.

JoeMerchant sure does have a reputation on the expressjet forums. He started the same smoke and mirrors discussion over there and lots of opinions started flying.
