As for money, this would prevent many of us from ever upgrading, costing us hundreds of thouands of dollars. You can do what is right for the profession or do what is right for Jsled. Keep in mind that the time will come when you will expect one of us to have your back, that is unless you are the perfect pilot.
No offense taken. You think that full longevity credit will help your standing in the SLI and thus allow you to upgrade sooner? I don't think so. The merger announcement was 2.5 years ago. Reading the DAL/NWA and USAIr/AMwest SLI decisions, one can reasonably conclude that the so called "snapshot" or Constructive Notice Date will be on or about the same as the MAD. As for doing what is right for Jsled, I will be getting less of a percentage raise than Learjet Driver.
I agree...it's all BS. I wish your career didn't get wrecked by Tilton and the boys, and I wish Pierce wasn't such an ass. But here we are and this is a pretty good piece of pie here on the table.
