JB is not out of the woods, but the last time United shrunk and furloughed pilots we got trashed in the merger. A merger with JB now would be a huge windfall for anyone at JB, unless we got the American/US Air deal, with 85% weighting on longevity. Over 7,000 pilots at United have more longevity than the #1 JB pilot. Strictly from a status and category standpoint, United just got rid of 1,500 status and category pilots.
