It may or may not be a little painful for me when the results are published but know that I am still more than content knowing that we can put the last hurdle behind us now. I'm ready to be one group and a real pilot group that can potentially lead the industry.
Nice sentiment, unrealistic. I, too, was hopeful I would feel this way until the results came out. Watching folks hired years after you, upgrade, bid vacation, get weekends off, holidays, all QOL issues, sticks with you for a while, career long if you will. Happy about the merger, unhappy with the way the SLI was played, argued, and awarded. Good luck.
