That's 14 Alaska guys and six VX guys. That's a ratio of about two point three four to one.

Now wash, rinse, and repeat with the rest of both pilot lists, until the entire new list is established. Just like shuffling cards...

No Alaska guy will lose seniority to any other Alaska guy and no VX guy will lose seniority to any other VX guy, and all but the the most junior VX guy will have at least a little more room between him/herself and any potential furloughs should the economy tank than they did before

What was so damn hard about that?

In a company with no serious scope limits, you'd think you guys would have better things to fight about then going at each other.
