[RJLoser]

Any of you guys/gals been contacted about getting back to work??

Do they have to start with first year pay?

There will be no recalls, and the Colgan guys will be senior to all of the furloughs.

Hi!

Pinnacle just started accepting applications.

If you are a Mesaba furloughee, you may want to contact your union about a Republic-type deal. Republic is taking furloughees (Midwest, Lynx, etc.), I think without even an interview, and putting them into a Republic new hire class. They get a Republic seniority number, and start work. They KEEP their old seniority number.
When the SLI is achieved, they can pick whichever of the two numbers they want to keep.

Seems like a good deal to me!
