But since there was a merger there was a TPA. It was agreed upon by YOUR MEC, and allowed pilots and airplanes to be shuffled around the system on BOTH sides.
Sled, your side got an obvious windfall from the SLI. Quit your arrogant grandstanding and move on.
Liquidated? How would you know? The arbs pointed out that you were underperforming us in the period leading up to the merger. Your Management team jumped in and stopped a USAir deal (remember the ugly girl?). As for a windfall on SLI---ehhh----well a CAL pilot hired 3 months after me in 1997 is a shade over 2000 numbers senior to me now. Sorry Mitch, I'm not feeling the windfall you describe. Next.
