I think you need to accept what even Horton alludes to. The question for those of us LINE pilots is not if we merge with U, but when is the best time.
In order to accurately determine that, you have to accept that reality first and then assess all known aspects.
That's what most of us on the line hope to do. My apologies if that knocks over your apple cart.
Thanks for your measured reply. As I've said many times, (I) will be alright. I'm not super senior, but senior enough. My house is paid off, and I have decent retirement funds whenever the date comes. I love my company and will never apologize for that.
But this isn't about me. I was fortunate, I only applied to one airline (AA) and was blessed to be hired by the same. My goal is be part of a renewed and stronger American Airlines! Maybe that's beyond my control, but I'd like to think otherwise.
I still choose to dream!
