As a matter of fact, the only pilots that have benefitted from this deal have been the East.
Just sitting on the sidelines waiting for the fun to begin.
That's right. The original AWA management team excluding Mr. McClleland (very smart guy, unfortunately passed from cancer) has become verrrrrryyy wealthy. Notice I don't say overpayed, since compared to other CEOs that don't know what they're doing, they're not.
East pilots, still have jobs, new aircraft placed east (growth), and even have their own personal union that only catters to their pilot group.
West pilots: What do we have for youuuu!

Ohhhhh, I'm sorry. Don't feel too bad we have some nice consolation prizes. Like this Costco bulk pack of KY Lube! One big Tube O' Lube for each future merger!
