"Pilots please I hear a fatal error going on here in this conversation.

Longevity and ISL are not the same thing."


Agreed! The snapshot date is most likely going to be the Merger Announcement Date, MAD. See the NWA/DAL merger among other for precedent. sUAL pilots will argue for earlier and sCAL will argue for later but most likely MAD is the final date for SLI purposes.

Our positions and longevity will be set in stone as of the MAD. Longevity for pay is a contractual item and designed to be set apart from SLI by the current ALPA merger policy.

Stop mixing the two!
