At the very least, Compass and Mesaba should have been invited to that table.
Holy crap, not another JoeyMerchant! And this one is a friend of mine! Don't drink the RJDC kool-aid, buddy.

I'm no RJDC supporter, and haven't drunk any kool-aid in a while.
That said, because of the complex flowthrough and flowback issues existing at Compass and Mesaba, it's my opinion that they should have been there as well.
Eagle guys know all about flowthrough and flowbacks, and many more flowbacks than flowthroughs. If there's a lesson to be learned from the Eagle situation, is that Compass and Mesaba should be there at that table.
PCL:
Why'd you "borrow" my avitar from my RJDC days? Just curious, seeing as how you hated the whole "don't tread on me" thing. Irony? Just curious.
PCL, wouldn't it be better if the pilots who fly more than half of Delta's block hours had a seat at the table? Maybe we could come up with some solution so that the majority of jobs out there were not at "a dammed sub-contractor."you still think they should have a seat at the table?
If there's a lesson to be learned from the Eagle situation, it's that you should get the hell out of the commuters as quickly as possible and forget the idea of making a career from a damned sub-contractor.
Don't be a regional lifer!

Let me get this straight: even though the Compass and Mesaba pilots already have flow-through agreements, and even though those agreements aren't going to be altered (merely transferred over to the combined company, like every other contractual obligation), you still think they should have a seat at the table? Please tell me I'm misunderstanding you.
If there's a lesson to be learned from the Eagle situation, it's that you should get the hell out of the commuters as quickly as possible and forget the idea of making a career from a damned sub-contractor. Most of those senior Eagle guys could be furlough-safe at the majors right now if they had left when they had the chance, but instead, they're waiting to find out if AMR manages to sell off their company and cuts their flying. Don't be a regional lifer!
