This week we received word from the Republic Integration Committee that the meetings scheduled for next week have been cancelled and that the next time they will be available to meet with our Merger Committee will be in late September.

That came out today from the Midwest MEC. Infer what you will....
 
My understanding is although Midwest has several airlines, but they have one SL. Can pilots change which airline/aircraft they fly for?
 
Me thinks that there is more to this whole story that will come out in time. This is just too much for BB to handle.

Information only:

RAH operates 3 airlines: Chautauqua, Shuttle America, and Republic. In addition, Midwest and Frontier have been recently acquired. At this point, Midwest and Frontier are not covered under the RAH CBA until a seniority integration takes place. To date, no significant meetings have taken place between the Teamsters (RAH), ALPA (Midwest), and FAPA (Frontier). YES, there is one master seniority list at RAH, which Midwest and Frontier pilots will become a part of at some point.

Under the current RAH CBA, pilots may bid for any position that results in an increase in pay. Since the current CBA has a single FO pay scale, FO's cannot change aircraft or airline. They may bid for ANY captain spot.

Chautauqua captains fly 50 seat or less aircraft.

Shuttle America flies 70 and 76 seat aircraft.

Republic flies 76, 86, and 94 seat aircraft.

There are four pay levels for captains at RAH, based on seats installed. Those scales are:

Less than 50 seats (E-135, E-140)

50-60some seats *contract not in front of me* (E-145, CRJ 200)

60some- 78 seats (E-170, Shuttle America E175)

78-99 seats (Republic E175, E190 in current configuration)

Note: there is no defined payscale above 99 seats yet, and there is NO payscale for a turboprop aircraft (all the above payscales specify jet aircraft)

An FO can bid any Captain spot. A CHQ captain can bid for either Shuttle America or Republic captain. A Shuttle America captain can bid for Republic E190 captain. A Republic captain is currently stuck, since no lateral or backwards pay moves are allowed under this CBA.

Midwest E190's will be flown on the republic certificate. Midwest pilots could end up anywhere in the RAH mix, depending on the outcome of seniority integration and any negotiated protections for bases, etc. Same applies to Frontier pilots.

Thank you for your rational and comprehensive answer. Finally...
