At least no one will get treated like the TWA FAs in the AA buy out. They were all stapled to the bottom and then all were furloughed. A 40 year TWA FA was below a <1 year AA FA. The McCaskill-Bond law prohibits that from happening again.

The TWA pilots did not fair that much better. The top half (maybe a bit more) got offset by quite a few years. The bottom good portion got stapled and furloughed.
