I agree with many of your ideas (from a purely civilian perspective), however, I doubt that our military trained friends would feel that it is fair to "start over" to get a commercial flying job. Don't forget that their 7+ years of "apprenticeship" has already been served.
I guess we'll just have to come up with a more inclusive career path for both pure civilian trained vs. pure military trained.

They will be at mainline. We have to ratify the pay scales so it's not a done deal yet, but so far it doesn't look like Republic or anyone else will be flying 190's for us.
Pilots on the AAA/AWA seniority lists will fly these airplanes.
The line between mainline and regional has finally been drawn - albeit very late.
JoeMerchant said:Well to be perfectly blunt, MY career is more important than YOUR career. Sorry, but that is the atmosphere that ALPA has fostered through the years. Nothing personal, it's just business. ........ If your version of a single list involves me starting all over at the bottom flying an aircraft for lower rates than we currently do, then you can stick it where the sun don't shine.
