Sounds more like you sold yourself short from day 1, doing all this for a lot less than the pilots who you are, in your own words, imitating to be. You want to be one, then makes the moves to do it. If you are as experienced as you say you are, shouldnt be an issue at all. Right?

So, no. Being "part of American/Airways" entitles you to zippo when it comes to being a part of their seniority list unless it is something you negotiate and AA pilots agree to. And why would they agree to it? They wouldnt. Keep dreaming.


Have you ever heard the story of Prometheus? He was a Titan who, among other things, stole fire from Zeus and gave it to man. Zeus was very upset at Prometheus for this and he ordered Prometheus to be chained to a rock where everyday a vulture would come down and eat the liver out of the breathing Prometheus. At night the wound would heal, only for the vulture to return the next day to once again feast on Prometheus.

In this story, you (the PSA pilot) are Prometheus. And because you have done wrong, your sentence is to be chained to the rock of PSA for eternity so that Bedford can feast on your concessionary contract for the next 10 years. You do not get to go to Legacy, you dont get to jump on their seniority list. Everyday you get to wake up and live with that contract.
