Honestly, I am ready to move on. They are all Pinnacle reps now. Let's do this.
I'm game. Let's first ask to get an LOA not requiring a secondary to every displacement. This is about to get ugly when the more senior bases close the saab operation.

No thanks, I am sick of being at the bottom of the list with now 600 additional people able to keep me there... I'm ready to go back to a prop for a few months.
Mesaba added the LGA base to their MEM council for the votes. Our MEM base is bigger than XJ's strictly MEM base. Good political move.
Another thing I hate is you can never get the truth. You say this, and I don't doubt you. But if you ask the 9E committee, I'm sure you'll hear the complete opposite. In a situation like this, where's the truth? Where's the proof? Obviously, someone d*cked up. It'd be nice to know who was the behind it.Yet when THEIR OWN autonomous group dick$ something up royally, they complain that national didn't fix it for them.
This merger was doomed for pinnacle pilots the moment they forced this to go to binding arbitration by refusing to agree to a reasonable integration through mutual negotiations.
Pinnacle pilots dicked it up,

Look at the most junior Mesaba pilot awarded a DTW-200 Captain position, initials KW a MEM Saab FO hired in May 2007?! Our guys just got downgraded from the -200 that were hired in March 2007. What a major ****-up!

I believe they could have come to a deal, and a better one than our current situation. It would have been a hard negotiation, no doubt. But, the end result most likely would have been a more fair method to individuals across the ISL, instead of groups of pilots on each premerger list having huge gains and losses to try to make it seem fair for the premerger group as a whole. The hard line negotiator stances don't bother me. The attitude of one negotiating committee to just force it to arbitration does. Total lack of responsibility to the pilots they represent. I've even heard that this committee proposed a cruise ship as a meeting place for ISL negotiations, now who are they looking out for with a proposal like that?Are you suggesting that all three parties were capable of agreeing to a "reasonable" integration? Just what was reasonable?
The negotiation phase of the SLI was a joke and at least two of the three parties proved they had no intention of ever moving off their most desired outcomes. The process should have just gone straight to arbitration.
