I just want us to move forward, and I can just see the uphill unity battles due to "we were stapled", "the staffing model/fences screwed us", and "I got NO raise, and lost in SLI" snide comments being injected. The methodology screwed all the groups here. An accepted methodology, which has been touted "successful" in the past, and was fought for by one of our merging groups.

The following is not guided towards you Avroman, just my rambling...
So we're at a divergence here... We can keep complaining, arguing, and mistreating each other due to our pre merger and integration statuses, which will most likely put us into a USAir like infighting and will make it impossible to effectively deal with issues moving forward. Or we can take a higher road, realize that it is what it is, and that arguing it could make it worse than what we have now, and move forward. Treating each other with respect, (no denying jumpseat due to pre merger status, which may have happened recently) and come together as a cohesive and effective group. The choice is ours, and it's a choice we each individually control by our actions.

I can assure you (and all commuters) my 1 or 2 jumpseats are open to all. As to moving forward, my resume is out and being kept updated. I'd be thrilled to give up my number (new or old) to anyone that wants it, I just need someone at DL, SW, AA, ect, to finally decide to retire without management then outsourcing that spot.
