Better 900 FO
I just came to the realization that the award was pretty high on the "sucks-for-me" scale. The XJ protected 900 seats get my buddies approximately 50 away from alternate CA (1253 being current lowest alternate). I am junior to my friends by a bit, maybe 100 numbers, but I have to make it all the way to mid-1000 seniority for a 200 CA slot.
That being said, when life gives lemons, make lemonade (well that's all we can afford anymore haha), and I'm content flying with folks that make a 4-day enjoyable, regardless of pre-merger company.
And, in mid-2016 the fences come down!!! Woo!!!
