I'm absolutely NOT a DOH guy, so you've just proved to me that your credibility is ZERO. DOH not a fair methodology of merging seniority lists, though I would benefit greatly in this case if it were. Do you know how close we came to merging with USAirways? You think I would have wanted DOH then??
I can EASILY state that these Captains wouldn't have held the bid in a combined SLI. Anyone who was awarded Captain under the latest superbid that couldn't hold it at the merger date will not be able to hold it after the seniority list is combined. The merger date IS the snapshot date. Oh, and it's not going to go straight relative seniority either. That would be a windfall for LCAL pilots. Deal with it.
