Wait until we merge with Alaska and our number two B-777/B-747 captain gets merged in right behind their number one B-737/A320 captain and their #1 pilot becomes #2 on our entire seniority list.
Not going to happens - the most senior B-737 CA WILL NOT be any higher than the most senior DELTA B-737 CA - this ratioed seniority is exactly why so many NW guys ended up 2 years junior to their year group @ Delta. If we (DALPA) didn't allow it to happen with NW (including the arbitration decision) why would we have to give it up to Alaska? I'm sure they will give some kind of protection for Alaska pilots but they are ALPA, we are ALPA and the merger will be similar to other mergers. Also, the Alaska rumors have been around since the day I was hired 16 years ago - maybe they'll happen some day
