apparently your a slow reader...this is not a "game" as you say...also note the comment i made about that being a very far fetched possibility...and my comment about stopping any type of whipsaw...nice comment though...the "unity" is pouring out of your veins...

SEVEN...enjoy life with an APU my friend...you deserve it...

Your far fetched possibility is a far fetched fantasy at best, and best quantified as a "game."

Unity is DEFINITELY needed here, but it comes with levels. My trust and loyalty comes in this order...
1.) God
2.) Family
3.) Friends/XJ coworkers/ XJ Union
3.a) 9E/9L Union
3.b) All other airline unions/ industry
4.) Passengers
5.) The Government
5.a) The FAA
6.) My Company

I expect 3 and 3.a to merge with the JCBA/SLI. And I would expect your list to not be too different in the top 4.

Some good banter. I always like the "its not a threat but a posibility" for the transfer of assets and offering of a job (staple). I would love to see the actual dollar amount this action would cause Pinnacle and Delta. I say delta because they would be paying for a lot of canceled flights and stuck aircraft if this was announce. I for one would jump seat home or rent a car, I hope others would do the same. I also would like to know what the training cost it would take to train all 9E FO's as captains since they would be senior to the now stapled former XJ captians. Not to mention with suddenly having 60 some new aircraft overnight with more than 1/2 of the pilots quitting where will you find all these pilots? If alpa SLI took effect, and we were forced somehow to fly under 9E's 99 contract, none of my flights would go smoothly. and I am sure there would be a ALPA vote and we would strike aSAP

Not to mention, ALL outstation aircraft would be grounded due to "mechanical irregularities."

It's not like they can "force" us to go either... And who would? The whole Corp would crumble under the cost of transferring without a JCBA/SLI.

That is not the scenario. It would be a steady number of planes per month, and 9E could easily utilize simspace in YUL and STL to make it happen. A gradual draw down would avoid any mass exodus, and having 4th year 9E scale captains would quickly recoup any costs versus paying more senior pilots on the XJ scale, as well as provide a staffing source for the additional Q400's next year.

You could use the sim in MSP too. Now find the bodies to sit in the seats.

About the training center in MSP, I have recently heard (don't qoute me on it) that Pinnacle is going to try to keep it going, instead of bringing everything to MEM. I personally would love that, instead of going to MEM every six months.
