Great question actually. One would think I'd want to screw them as much as posisble in order to gain back some of the 32% relative seniority I lost, but honestly I just can't think that way. I don't think the blackmail/threats towards us was correct, moral or appropriate and I certainly don't think it would be the correct way to welcome aboard 3000+ JBA pilots.

I've run the numbers and my view of "fair" is DOH, with no bump no flush. Perhaps some fences on domiciles and/or aircraft. If they got DOH I'd gain back 6% of the 32% I lost on the new master SWA/JBA seniority list. Personally, I lost almost four years on the last fiasco but I'd be okay with a straight DOH on this one.

That's just my opinion. The problem with this is that the newly combine list would push almost 12,000 pilots and you'd have that many opinions on what's "fair". I'm confident that about 1,735 on our current list wouldn't label the last one as "fair and equitable".

Don't worry. Hawaiian's less than 8% of our current pilot group so they won't swing things in either direction too much. Besides, I doubt there'd be many pilots moving between domiciles
