The only "spin" on this board is people trying to claim that getting to fly captain at 8000 seniority, GUARANTEED captain positions (something the nAAtives don't get) and super-seniority bidding is a "screw job".
APA designed the SLI so that nAAtives wouldn't pay the price for AMR management ultimately dismantling the newly acquired airline as they had done to most other acquired airlines in the past. Considering all that is left of the TWA empire is around 50 DC-9s and a STL base on the verge of closure, Supp CC was more than fair.
