I understand your position and your bitterness towards the process, but since you've decided to bring flying skill into the argument I've got $100 that says I can land this plane, or any other, better than you. I'm not 22 and this isn't my first jet - I've got other type ratings, including one single pilot in a twin turbine aircraft. You ever flown a jet single pilot? Be careful with your assumptions big fella

Fair enough, then show us all your mature, experienced side by either a) recognizing that clearly there are three agendas at play here. As mentioned earlier each leadership is looking out for their own, so utopia might be outside the realms of reality. b) An integration of this magnitude will take time, and will most likely go to arbitration. When it's all said and done if the unions did their job right; everyone will be unhappy in some shape or another. You're probably not going to see ATL for a few of years fences not withstanding.
There is no happy holding hands on this one, it's two separate cultures. One ****ed off and ready to get it done for their constituents, and one brained washed into thinking that it's their way or the highway, not taking into account that the odds are heavily against them.
About your landing challenge, no worries I'll figure out who you are (shouldn't be to hard at this point) and get on your pairing, so you can demonstrate your amazing skills landing the 145. Looking forward to it.
