Here's the point Gunter, the most recent merger of seniority lists of late was the one at American Airlines/TWA and USAir/AWA. IF, cargo carriers do merge, where do you think they will look for ideas for the framework of a seniority integration. Ummm, maybe they will look at most recent mergers.

I'll give you a basic example, easily digestible for you. When pilot groups negotiate contracts they look around the industry to see what everyone else is doing. In the event of a cargo merger, do you think all parties will look around the industry to see what the others have done.

The AA/TWA seniority list merger set a precedent in that it generated a rare occurence that Congress stepped in to prevent this from happening again. I would presume the most recent legislation would apply in the event of a cargo merger. Can you show me where Cargo carriers would be exempt from this legislation.

Last question, are you a former AA pilot also ?

If you need any further info on this boondoggle...whatever you call it, P.M. I'll be happy to further explain.

Thanks for your post,

FF

ps Gunter, sorry if you're not as interested as I am on how cargo pilots would be integrated if there was a merger. I think most others are interested in the topic.
