There's no reason whatsoever that both airlines' pilot groups couldn't work together for the benefit of BOTH.

The only horrible thought I have with merging the seniority lists, in my opinion would be the bitterness created among the pilot groups. TSA pilots are the most senior. If the lists were merged the majority of TSA pilots would automatically jump above the Compass Pilots, knocking them down the seniority list by at least a hundred or so. Now, if I was a Compass pilot, I would be royally pi**ed off, and managment would have won.

It will be interesting if TSA and Compass are ran seperatly like SkyWest runs ASA, or if there is going to be a merjer. One would hope that there is no merjer-Compass being a very young airline. Date of hire could be ugly.

Two things seem clear to me.
1) Hulas CAN afford to pay us more
2) Now if we strike, he probably will shut TSA down because he has cash coming in from Compass and can afford the hit he'd take on TSA.
I'm beyond angry at this RLA/NMB nonsense. If TSA isn't given an immediate proffer after this news, I'm gonna lose my mind.
