Your assumptions are off... But yes some groups at each company are going to cry “foul”. There is a large group at VX that would benefit significantly from a DH integration. VX negotiators are definitely putting putting the career of the top 50-150 in front of the majority. We will see how that works out. Come on you can’t have it both ways. So putting a 79 hire with a 07 is fair but a 2010 hire can’t be near a 2012 hire. Half of the VX pilots will end up in the top 50-58 percent of the new seniority list. That is more then fair. VX pilots seniority in current base will move forward unharmed, in position and status.
A FA walking through the C Concourse gave me the SLI numbers.
>23 percent of VX pilots either have PNW addresses on file or proximity is closer to address on file.
How does this destroy unity. Soon we will all look at numbers and they will be final. So pretending this is not going to happen builds unity?
