I would like to know the average age of the third list seniority list, vs. the "less than a year" crowd at American.

I'm a third lister, and I don't agree with putting the former TWA folks behind me, or any third lister, to be honest. Age is huge here- I just feel everyone should have their shot at the top tier of the seniority pyramid. I'm not looking to benefit at the expense of else, but I am definately not going to be a rung on the ladder for someone to advance themselves at my expense either.

However, I also know that Flybywire is correct- the arbitrators at Uni-Cal ruled and set the precedent. In arbitration, precedent is everything.
