BG,
Thanks for your forbearance with my example. Many of the Tigers guys said FedEx saved them and ALPA saved their careers. My point was, don't look at the airplane and make assumptions about the pilots. Although Tigers had the bigger airplanes, FedEx was the far better career.
Mergers are not ideal, but they beat the alternative of giving management a choice of which pilots to fly the company's business.
