This may really suck for the west and give the old farts what they've been wanting.
But now you'd be re-arranging the seniority of pilots within their own list. IOW, Nic goes into effect / I'm senior to Joe / we merge with AA / I'm now junior to Joe?
Ain't gonna happen, lawsuit liability out the wazzoo.
