OK...so if it happens, let's go ahead and perform the inevitable speculation and bantering about seniority.
Let me go on the record and suggest a staple-job for American, ALA what they did to TWA. They are bankrupt, right? So was TWA - see, it works perfect. I'm kidding.
In reality, I would assume a relative seniority type of arrangement would be the likely outcome (via binding arbitration after we all beat each other up) and the end decision would be something like the DAL-NWA integration.
So...is there an American Pilot who can post up the number of pilots and ages of the AMR pilot group?
This is current Age and number of pilots on the Delta Seniority list as of October 16, 2011:
