Why even answer these kind of questions when all it does is dredge up old SLI grievances? The answer is simple - a seniority number. Talking about hire dates only keeps the DOH myth alive for future generations. A lot of pilots on this board will see a merger & SLI in their career, so let's not perpetuate bad info. I'm so over the SLI arguments....let it die.
