If you do it relative, then if you are a middle of the list captain at either airline, you will still be a middle of the list captain. If you were a junior FO, you'll still be a junior FO, etc.
Eh? AE hired almost 900 of their 3200ish pilots 2008 and after.... PSA is 1/6 the size and DOH, in this crazy crazy crazy, hypothetical would benefit most PSA Jr Captains..... We have 500 pilots and some near the 300 seniority are holding captain...
Wasnt AE getting close to 2007 hires upgrading? Obviously prior to this music stopping?
Im an 2007 hire at psa and barely 375/500? Seems like relative seniority only works for very few if this crazy hypothetical were to occur.... Also I thought ALPA Merger policy was supportive of DOH?
