They weren't ca's to begin with and the most senior 9L guys that will be able to hold ca when all the training is done is 2005 hires. The same as the 9E guys go figure. What I was getting at is that it sucked for everyone including the 9L guys. Many guys quit some even completely left the industry. Also you are getting fired up about what 100 so guys that are captains at the moment (temporary while everyone is in training who will be downgraded) at a company you don't even work for. It seems to me Bloch made a good choice because everyone was unhappy from all sides of the 3 way merger. So move on already. You want to have a regional like usairways ? look how great that fighting turned out.
