Lets say hypothetically that someone wanted this either management of either company or one or both Pilot groups wanted this.
I have heard allot of talk that only a pilot group with an alpa contract would have negotiating power on how this integration would happen. I admit I don't know too much about how this all would come about but find it hard to believe that the Colgan pilots, in this case, could not have equal representation at the table with or without a union on property. Colgan pilots could and would definitely put all there voices into one of our own as a negotiator.
I know the Pinnacle Pilots have some merger protection in there contract to abide by alligany/mohawk integration which even at that is no staple for either group. With this in mind Colgan's growth and equipment size with the Q400 over the next year or two is predicted to be much greater then Pinnacle putting the companies on a much more even playing field using this merger integration.
I am sure I am missing something so could someone explain why the Pinnacle pilot group would be in a position to staple or control how seniority integration would happen.
