It was insulting to say the least.
As for reupgrading in 2015......not a chance in hell. After being in the left seat for many years, it's going to be several years before I can even hold it again and about 15 years before I get back to my original relative seniority under a scenario of hiring only for retirements (0% growth).
In fact, I'm now grouped in with original SW FOs who were NOT EVEN HIRED AT SW WHEN I FINISHED UPGRADING AT AIRTRAN. Anybody have the audacity to tell me I have no right to be livid about that?!
Actually don't you think, WM, that you along with your entire pilot group should share some of the blame concerning the "Stapled" seniority list? After all, shouldn't you and your group have demanded transparency from your side of the house during the negotiations?
