Then, all the beotching I've heard from merged airline guys is just so much hyperbole? You can look at dozens of mergers that completely bollocked up careers. I know three of them from the TW/AA merger alone. I didn't say "were", as in "the same thing"; just "can" as in "in some cases". Yes, you still have a job, but not the one you expected or planned for.
Really, dude?
