Senority List Integration from 2007 on......

This thread is stupid and pointless. Big picture: pretty soon "us" and "them" will just be "us", and publicly griping about hypotheticals is antithetical to that goal. VA was expensive not just for the slots, but also for the front line employees who built an awesome, award winning brand. We are lucky to have them part of the team and to drive wedges between us and them at this point with emotional posts sends the wrong message. Let the negotiators or arbitrators do their work, forward your concerns to your MEC, and limit your negativity to private boards if you must vent. To our VA brothers and sisters: Cheers, glad to have you part of the family!

This is where our focus needs to be right now moving forward and something we have a little more control of. We can waste years whining and fighting about the SLI until were in the next recession perhaps. Then we can look forward to a career of animosity and bitterness toward each other after that. I've lived it at other airlines and it ain't fun and I'd hate to see it happen here at Alaska. There is real benefit to working together on a new contract soon that will benefit us all. Welcome to the Virgin pilots!

VA pilots should not bump our Capt's or delay our upgrades. If they can't do anything else, then keeps the lists separate.

I will take a right seat job and pull gear for you sir. I think you will appreciate my 30 years of experience and maybe buy me a beer. That's all I am asking.

Trying to gain sympathy through your sob stories won't work on me. I don't care about your personal life as much as I expect you to care about mine. And your 30 years of experience don't mean jack and you know it. That's going to be the first argument from the VA guys. "My 20+ years of experience at airline X should count during SLI even if it wasn't at VA." All so you can gain leverage and add to the 9 years that really does count. Nice try though.

You don't care, but plenty of others might appreciate his olive branch. And his 30 year remark didn't even come close to implying that it should get him seniority, but only that he would be a useful crew-member.
