LOL! In all honesty, I totally get and respect the longevity argument, as long as it is tied to active service. Through no fault of their own, the furloughed LUAL pilots have had devastating setbacks to their careers. That being said, it's not the fault of CAL pilots that that happened. I think that will all play out in the intergration.

One SLI factor that never gets mentioned is Common Sense! While not being an official merger method, it will come into play when these committees put a list together. What makes absolutely no sense is a guy 99 percent in his company thinking he is going to be 60 percent in the new company...ain't gonna happen IMHO.

Anyway I'm so over these arguments..it really is wasted band width. The award will come in August. Then we can really start the whining.
