I know, I know... UAL and CAL were similar companies, with equal footing. That’s why they were merged that way... VX and AS are not... The arbiter even made this distinction. Ask your merger committee. We didn’t get a deal because your merger committee could never sign off on the logical outcome off this SLI...( although the reality finally seemed to be sinking in) Pure and simple, it has to be awarded in arbitration.

Believe what you want... I am a liar... I am an idiot. We are starting at “zero in arbitration ”, whatever that means. All the VX guys on top, AS stapled to the bottom. Relative seniority, whatever fantasy works best for you. You have 6 months to enjoy your alternative reality, live there as long as you can, I guess
