As far as all the comments about the United/ Continental integration, I cant comment. I have no idea what agreement they came to, nor do I care. I tend to worry more about things that affecting me rather than other airlines that I don't work for.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion but I am pre-merger 3rd lister, and you're embarrassing us. The traditional legal interpretation is that after Feb 14 you can be reasonably sure you are going to be working at the combined carrier.
There is no way that it would be fair that post feb 14 third listers would be senior to all the AA furloughs. I do believe that some mix of relative seniority and credit for years of service would be fair, even if it costs me a few numbers.
It is insane that you would suggest that a seniority list be re-ordered because someone executed their contractual right to bypass. I don't know a single third lister that shares your opinion.
