Interesting suggestion.
I wonder if Mesa-ALPA could come to some sort of agreement that any former Aloha-turned-street hire captains would have "super-seniority" for any CA spots that open up on the islands (and the islands only)?
If the Go! flying expands, as purportedly it will, this would at least give Aloha pilots a chance to work near home. Hardly an ideal situation, I know, but at least it's something.
Mesa-ALPA, of course, would have to move quick with a proposal like this, and it would be a very hard sell to the Mesa pilot group. I think the amount of people affected would be very, very small though, and it would give some credence to all the "brotherhood" kool-aid that gets tossed around.
