I'm thinking the "3rd list" from the US/AWA merger may not be taken into consideration as 3rd listers. I believe that they will be considered part of the list they are on. I know that's not how it was supposed to happen, but it's really kinda tied to the Nic. The TA that created the Nic also defined how the "3rd listers" would be dealt with. Well, that TA is null. That nullifies the Nic as well as the 3rd list provisions.

When the East presents their singular list, it will contain a tremendous number of 3rd listers in EVERY aircraft type from 190 Captain to 330 FO. Those pilots, and the positions they occupy, are needed on the East list during integration.

I think the real "3rd list" pilots will be defined once the merger committees decide on a "constructive notice" date. Those pilots hired after that date will go in their proper order regardless whether they are at AA or the East or the West.
