IMHO, they've gamed everything. That is Pierce's MO. Always has been. He is a political creature that will sell his and your soul for a couple of pieces of silver. Go ahead, hitch your wagon to that horse.
You can't possibly be typing that with a straight face, right?
Come on Larry. Your side actually proposed to staple the bottom 2500 UAL pilots despite the fact that we have 3 times as many widebodies - 52 777's, 25 747's, more 767's and twice as many widebody orders as either growth or replacements. We're the one's grabbing seniority? Have you looked at the NWA/DAL agreement? How about ALPA merger policy? Familiar with any of the transcripts of the arbitration?
