I could understand if it were a takeover or buyout.. but it was a MERGER.. great job ALPA.. Cpt Prater is my hero

YHGTBSM!
I was in PHL in 2004/2005... I flew on Xmas day 2004. Airways was 100% F-ed, they were goners and everybody knew it. I already had another job lined up. Whatever you think about the seniority integretation, get your facts straight: AWA bought airways at a fire sale...this was an ACQUISITION, not a "merger".
