But my point is that pay would not have to be a driving consideration in a merger scenario, and who's taking who's equipment.....
The only problem is, when it comes down to it, what other considerations do arbitrators take into account when they consider SLI's?
It's really all about the money and if a 747 captain is going to get paid the same as a 717 captain, why not merge 1:1, from the very top to the very bottom of the seniority list?
