I haven't seen any APA/ALPA #'s. I was 1,100 out of 2,100 pilots; when the buyout was announced (or "merger"). Not sure how many TWAers were hired after that; but, I "know" the only the integrated pilots, were top 800! To this day, the integrated 800 were the only ones not to get furloughed (there may have been a few; I never looked a the actual numbers). The integration #'s were based on career "expectations"; with those hired after 1989, not having one and being stapled (about 300 above me). I can give you my personal information and TWA seniority lists, on a PM; if you don't believe my numbers above.
