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.

GB...fair enough and relax. Ask your merger folks about the snapshots. If you believe, there is only one snapshot (merger date), then you are correct on the latest Capt upgrades and i can understand your viewpoint. However, I've heard from our merger committee members, that there are numerous snapshots, used pre-and Post the merger date used as background data in arguing for and developing an ISL. It accounts for retirements, medical, seat changes etc that will effect how an arbitrator panel awards...
