Alpha,

That is good information.

It also illustrates how painful being at the bottom of the list has been. While we have lost capacity and down-gauged senior pilots have returned to line flying, pushing down the bottom to staff those Douglas jet positions.

This is management gaining efficiencies. Folks are incorrect if they think ALPA is causing their pain. To the contrary, we gained 717A positions as a result of our dealings and will have a greater role in the international flying.

Thanks.
