So sorry, Poker, but your 11 years at UAL/USAir mean nothing in this merger. If you're going to talk longevity it only refers to these two airlines period. On top of that, if you were an Instant Captain in 2007, its most likely that you fought the vote for ALPA at VX tooth and nail. Why? Because you blamed your furlough on ALPA instead of your management where it rightly belonged.

GangtaMoose...How many times do you have to be told that "Career Expectations" ONLY means narrow body vs. wide body. I was on the ALPA BoD when that term replaced DoH in the Merger/Frag policy. And why did that happen? It was during the aborted takeover of USAIR by UAL. The UAL Gorilla MEC wanted to keep USAIR pilots out of their wide body seats.

Any other interpretation of career expectations is a corrupted view.

And let's not forget that with "no bump, no flush" NO ONE who is a current Captain at either airline will lose his seat unless he/she voluntarily bids out of it.
