I never said it wasn't. DOH is desirable by several factions within each pilot group - as is relative seniority.

I was only speculating on the more senior members having DOH desires and what influence they might have with their respective merger committee.

My opinion is that you will see the three negotiating points followed by the arbitrator - Career Expectations, Longevity, and Status and Catagory.

When I imagine where I'll be after the SLI sausage is made - I consider the above three anchors. To imagine the process being guided only by DOH or relative seniority would foolish.

I spent over an hour on the phone with my merger committee rep and have faith that the process will follow ALPA policy.

**The merger representatives shall carefully weigh all the equities inherent in their merger situation. In joint session, the merger representatives should attempt to match equities to various methods of integration until a fair and equitable integrated seniority list is reached. Factors to be considered in constructing a fair and equitable integrated seniority list, in no particular order and with no particular weight, shall include but not be limited to the following: Career expectations, Longevity, status and category.
