FWIW, I really think this would be a horrible deal for every pilot involved. I'm almost sure I would be on the street and the massive retirements we are looking at at both airlines would just offset the reduction in flying resulting in more stagnation for everyone. I'm hoping AA pulls out of this as a stand alone carrier and we all move on, not looking that way at this point however.
Agreed. We would all be better off if we fought SWA in the late 90's instead of having CEO's leverage their corporations. It did not happen, and after a long stretch of worse and worse, we are here with more of the same nasty sandwich. Employees will lose on all sides. Some more than others, but this is never good for the working sloth.
