The only negative I can see on their part is they will have to go to class for a day or two, to fly the Pratt engines, and a few people will loose an insignificant amount of sienority...big deal!

C360 guys are loosing an incredible amount of seniority, 100% of their check airmen status, they have to go to re-training on SA procedures, do IOE all over again, most likely loose out on the -400s/777, pay cut in the form of no DH pay for the new guys, frozen pay scales for the next 4 years, not too mention all the intangable headaches of simply being forced to change companies. Not to mention the fact that they have to now work for those shysters the Neffs and all their yes man cronies.

So, again, why does the SACG deserve a $5000/$10000 bonus just for showing up and doing what they always do anyways?

Don't gt me wrong, I'm glad they were able to squeeze blood from the turnip. Good for them, as people, but seems a bit unfair to, in effect say that the pain/trouble of the merger for the SACG is in any way similar to what the folks at C360 are about to feel.
