When I showed them that only including L-CAL people as was the correct method they ended up the same or slightly better, they weren’t buying it. Could talk until I was blue in the face and they didn’t understand you can’t mix the two. A pilot can’t work for two companies at once and be counted on both lists merging into one. So, yes, the drama comes from their unrealistic understanding of who was on each pre-merger list on the original date.
EWRflyer, you have renewed some faith with your comments. I have flown with many L-CAL guys (EWR 756 for 1.5 yrs) and had great times. And I'm sorry I engaged with the obvious outliers who make such provocative comments. I have many buddies who are L-Cal guys. Again, if you're a doosh, you're a doosh, if you're not, you're not. Doesn't matter what L carrier you came from, whether you were military or GA, whether you were Navy, USAF, Marines, etc. I appreciate your comments.
