I disagree. Our model was working exceedingly well prior to the merge. I don't think either side saved the other sides' jobs. I think we were two very good airlines that successfully merged and made our sum greater than the parts. Originally Posted by hockeypilot44

Throw in the older NWA 757's and 320's that are on the chopping block. You are left with some 319/320's, 75's, and a handfull of 330's. This merger probably saved your job longterm.

I lost over 1500 hours of sick leave. I'm not arguing over the merits of one system over another. I'm simply refuting the claim that nothing was taken from us. It's simply wrong. Originally Posted by hockeypilot44
Every year you get 270 hours of sick leave which is almost a third of what you lost.

You had a career that most of us can only dream about and it is nothing you did.

Let's see. A junior guy comes here throwing personal insults and tells me that my 45 years of flying makes me no more experienced than him...and I'm the one that needs to understand the audience? Is the audience here all self important entitlement types?Originally Posted by hockeypilot44
You are no more experienced or a better pilot than any pilot here. Just lucky. Understand your audience. To me it's like walking out of a steakhouse and *****ing about it in front of a homeless guy that hasn't eaten in a week.
