So you think that your airline bought.....Colgan and Mesaba.....take a step back and take business 101 and rethink things. Oh and thinking you are like republic makes me laugh. Have a higher opinion of yourself-what republic did makes them tools and I would not give them a glass of water if ....you get the idea. Republic holdings (all three carriers one seniority list) bought two airlines and screwed them-So that right there makes us (Colgan, mesaba, and pinnacle) even by your words so you as pinnacle do not get an advantage. yes I agree, it is up to Bloch and what we think is fair might not be what he thinks is fair. But open your eyes and look at a better example than that of Republic. take a look at something Bloch did-Delta/NWA. He did not take half the Delta pilots and put them on the top....Why am I even going on about this, you
