Funny, but incorrect.
Even with all the games your side played in the three years prior to ISL, the outrageous proposed ISL, and the packing of training bids prior to ISL (read loss of bidding power/$ I should have IAW the ISL) I still have some compassion for what your junior pilots are feeling right now.
No matter how loudly and often you state that we aren't entitled to our arbitrated seniority, the facts won't change. We ARE entitled to the seniority laid out in the EKN award. That ENTIRE SLI process was conducted transparently, IAW established agreements and law, and with both sides having the opportunity to make their best case. Mind you, I'm talking process - not the conduct of the Legacy merger committees. The exact opposite is true when it comes to the profit sharing/767-200 grievance settlement debacle.
I 'hide behind' merger policy just like I 'hide behind' the Annotated Code of North Carolina, the United States Code, the JCBA, etc...
A lot of introspection would help you guys.
