I dropped 11% from where I currently sit on the US-East list (as of 12/9/13).
Please, enlighten us inferior ones how we're the big winners. Show your work.
Still a lot of emotion. You need to get over the "superior" stuff as it wasn't about pilots per se, it was about a much larger network, 100+ widebodies over that of per-merger U, 900 orders/options, higher pre-merger compensation, etc. Those are facts. Of course, how the arbitrators WEIGH those facts, remains to be seen. "11 months" difference in DOH's are peanuts compared to West (and I assume East) proposals that have 14-18 year differences in DOH's like where the most junior West pilot with a DOH of 2005 is senoir to East pilots with 1987 DOH and LAA of 1999.
BTW, Slice didn't staple anyone, the AAPSIC devised LAA pilots proposed methodology. When you take things too personally, it leads to misguided words being thrown around like that.
Breathe.
