In 2001 835 TWA Captains were assigned seniority numbers 2000-6000 on the AA seniority list ALL senior to me and my Feb 19, 1999 seniority date.
Of the 100 TWA captains that are junior to me, many were displaced for 6 months to 1 year and then reinstated to Captain. The majority of the 100 TWA captains junior to me are captains now.
There is an arbitration right now finishing to decide to give TWA Captains protected bid statuses at each base. The decision will be announced mid-June.
If nearly ALL TWA captains kept their seats, how can you say "You guys wiped out an airline off the map" ?
AGAIN: Nearly ALL TWA Captains kept their seats. They either retired from them or are still in them.
AND: To be fair 1200 TWA Co-pilots furloughed along with 700+ AA co-pilots.
