DFW,

I guessing your a former American Airlines pilot also. I know many of you claim the TWA pilots screwed you. Rightful Place was ALPA's version of the merger, which would have been fair. For those that don't know the framework of "Rightful Place", it is the following.

ALL American Airlines Widebody Capts retain their place on the seniority list
Then All TWA widebody Capts are slotted in after them

All American Airlines narrowbody Capts would be placed after the TWA widebody Capts.
Then TWA Narrowbody Capt would go after the AA narrowbody Capts.

The same formula would be applied to all First Officers.

TWA pilots would be fenced off all aircraft that they didnt bring to the merger (MD11, A300, 777), thus allowing the AA narrowbody pilots to transition to widebody positions and enjoy pay raises.

It may sound like BS to an American Airlines pilot, but not to most others.

And I'm just guessing since Congress just enacted legislation that the dirty laundry you hoped had died, is actually one in the spotlight now.

As far as worrying about age 60 NBs, Whale displacements, what can you or I do about it. We can have a letter writing campaign to Congress like the one we (at TWA) did about the AA/TWA merger, maybe it to will enact legislation; however I don't think Congress will view the age 60 NBs or the Whale displacements as detrimental to the industry as the APA driven seniority integration.

What do you think, DFW ?

Lastly, "get over it"....you're not serious, are you ? LOL...
