- If your in the top 15% at AS your staying there... Period!

Get over DOH! It won't be used! There is NO windfall with relative seniority for either side! I'm near the top of FO's at VX, and once we upgrade the next 60 CA's later this year for the A321's coming in January, I'll be close to the number 1 FO at VX. Should I go backwards and have my upgrade extending out 2-3 more years? I didn't ask for the merger! We will all sacrifice something and have all paid our dues!

I see this as a win-win for all pilots! We are a stronger airline with an exciting future. We MUST stay unified and show management we are not going to take anything less than our peers at United, SW, Delta and American! Not one penny less! The VX pilots are unified and will stand with AS pilots and get what we ALL deserve!
Sorry. If this were a "Win/Win" Alaska Pilots would be happy about this merger. There isn't a single guy I've talked to that wants a thing to do with a VX merger over here.
