jezus people need to read what career expectations are as per the alpa merger policy. it is not any of those things you just said. airline with best asset to debt ratio. lol! seriously dude this isnt what arbitrators look at when it comes to the career expectation tenet. the airtran/southwest situation wasn't the same thing. it could have gone to arbitration but southwest management interfered and the airtran pilots were forced to accept a crappy proposal or be forced to run separate and then bleed dry as the 717s were shipped to delta. that was only allowed because the merger was an alpa merger with a swapa group merger. there really was no governing process. for alaska and virgin since both are alpa, the alpa merger policy applies and the process is spelled out quite clearly. i get it. youre scared because for many of you this is probably the first merger unless you were senior enough to see jet america. just breathe and relax. for those who have been through this rodeo before, there isnt much you can do at this stage and all you are doing is driving your own blood pressure up.



thank you, at least one guy gets it




perhaps. just keep in mind that in literally every single recent binding arbitration award the pilot group that asked for the moon and therefore most unreasonable, was screwed the most in the sli award. buyer beware.
