On a side note, I always find it funny when the majority of the pilot group, with regards to the ISL or a contract, tells the ISL guys "shoot for the stars, no mercy" ( including the large number that were vocally pro-staple) and when they do that and the arbitration doesn't go their way they suddenly say "you guys asked for way too much!!!!! are you crazy!!!"
The only people that made it out safe were the top 2% on the XJ and 9E lists, and most of the Colgan list. The majority of mid level 9e, and especially XJ guys, really took it in the rear. I don't dispute that point.
Do you think I'm physic? Your post was pretty vague. How was I supposed to know how it was personally going to affect you? I do know that there was a very vocal percentage that was in favor of a staple or an integration much like they gave the Mesaba and Colgan flight attendants in the begining
