Is there a big difference between having your seniority bought out by a check or by a paycheck?
Ohh, sorry, I forgot, you're a frickin genius.
It made a big difference to the NWA guys and probably made the difference between the merger being a success or a failure.
8 months after the merger was announced, we had a seniority list.
Less than 12 months after the merger was announced, we were wearing the same uniforms.
20 months after the merger was announced, DAL and NWA pilots were flying together, bidding each others bases and aircraft.
Your (second) merger was announced last year this time....
