Rolf,
The harm came, if you believe the APC conventional wisdom (and I do!), when SWAPA, abetted by SWA, refused to accept a relative seniority integration with AAI pilots.
I've come to believe, based what I've read here, that making any kind of distinction between an erstwhile Airtran pilot career and a SWA pilot career and factoring those significant differences into the SLI was arrogant, unfair, and anti-proletarian.
Can I count on you to support a relative seniority integration with a JetBlue or Allegiant acquisition? Even if SWA will only take a fraction of the airplanes? I hope I can. I couldn't bear to hear about a 6 year Allegiant captain making 140K/yr losing his seat to become a lowly SWA FO.
