Wrong, not mainline. Mesaba

It should be mainline...

Should of, Would of Could of. If mainline's ego wasn't so inflated years ago it wouldn't be an issue. It's here to stay. Mainline will never get their head out of the sand and get the senority lists merged. Until then..... I'll fly it make some money and move on to a major and not care about where some jet should have been.

you'll care when you're junior at your major with your job threatened by the shift of mainline routes to regional operators........

I will care but there is nothing I can do from the regional level. that is my whole point.

NWA mainline pilots VOTED TO GIVE THIS TO US! It is that simple. They gave it to us. When they want it back, they will merge the lists. It really is that simple now that we have all left BK.

I know the history is more complex, and believe me, I would rather have this flying be at mainline. But history is just that: history, over and done with.

When mainline wants to take back the flying, they will take XJ pilots with them, by merging the lists. Or, perhaps NWA mgt. will spin us off into oblivion in a few years, rendering us irrelevant to the Red Tail family.

However, Mesaba has been flying these, or similar, routes since the 90's, back before the BK's, when everyone still liked being a pilot and was being paid well.

XJ pilots have no control over what routes mainline gives to us.
