The two career expectations were definitely not the same. All the previous mergers were bankrupt struggling carriers being pieced together all of which at the time of there merger had the same dismal career expectation. The only exception was southwest and AirTran.... And even there AirTran/valuejet had been around for 20 years... And AirTran did not get relative seniority. I paid good money and I bet our attorney will very colorfully distingish the different career expectation we really had.
