Sorry I hit a nerve. You must have been one of the "lucky" 2007/2008 hires.
As a person looking at the list, I think the seniority list should have been combined pre 9/11 and then post 9/11. The 2000-2001 DOH pilots, should have never been placed behind 2007/08 DOH pilots. Not only did the 2000/2001 get furloughed, their seniority was put behind a pilot that could have potentially started their flying career (after 9/11) on the eve of the 2000/2001 furloughs (mainline shrinks, DCI expands). Bar!!!!-->Notice this has nothing to do with N or S. Its just what I think would have been "just". Regardless, no effects on me. Just cautious for future.
The point is, some 2007/08 received a great position. Keep it. Great. Enjoy. But let us learn for the future. In a future merger with HA or AK, lets make sure to count the lucky 2007/08 pilots with the 2000 and 2001 hires, so that the the 2000/01 pilots dont get another hit in seniority.
Thats it. Nothing is fair in life, understood. But a little minority of our pilot group got "seniority" shafted, lets not let it happen again.
Good afternoon, Boys!
