Will the pilots of all three groups please read ALPA national merger policies before spouting off in the crew room, employee bus, etc.
First off there have been no negotiations on SLI (YET). So anything you hear, ie DOH, 1:3 Ratio, relative seniority, LOA, staple are rumors.
Regardless of what Pinnacle Inc. calls this transaction ie merger, acquisition, asset transfer it does not matter. According to the ALPA policy manual:
(a “merger” is defined as a situation where there is a reasonable probability of sufficient operational integration between or among two or more ALPA airlines that there is or will be a need for an integrated seniority list).
Thus fair and equitable integration. So all current Pinnacle pilots will not be 900 captains and all Mesaba jet pilots will not be your fo's. Colgan will not be stapled etc, etc, etc. People need to think about what is fair and what continues to set precedent for "proper" SLI. You need to support your now fellow pilots because you will get nowhere with a me mentality. We need to settle for nothing less than the best of all of our contracts. If uncle phil wants this to happen he's going to have to pay to make it happen.
