THAT has a strong probability.
Anyone there who's intoxicated by the thought of east guys going straight to all the system captain seats or new widebody F/O slots via DOH has dementia. No need to get worked up about it at this point anyway.
Eagle your previous post are usually well though opinions and partial facts. I've enjoyed reading such. However, as of recent, your opinion has turned sour towards the east US pilots. I caution you not to fall on the arms of the AOL minority crowd and in return isolate the east. It is still to early in the game to choose sides. This process has just begun to unravel. I caution you not to believe the rhetoric spewed by both sides, east and west, and I suggest that you adapt an objective view. Not all that you read here is an accurate assessment of what has transpired in the east/west saga now going on its 6th year. I am an east line pilot and I can tell you that most, if not all, the guys I fly with are somewhat skeptical of this process ever coming to fruition. Having said that, most are cautiously optimistic and hoping that a final resolution to the Nic might materialize if and when a merger does happen. And NO I have yet to see, or hear of any such DOH list. On a side note, the east will retire roughly 60% of its pilots in the next 7 years. Most guys are to old to get worked up about a merger that most will not benefit from.
