I am not whining, rather letting you and whoever suggests that this whould be any sort of windfall for the AWA pilots that they should think again.

When DOH is not used, fences get thrown up. that's just the way things are. You might hold better senority in the A320 as a result of a ratio/precentage merger, but there is no reason you should be able to bid into the widebodies as tradeoff..

Career expectations are carrer expectations. DOH is DOH, If you do not want to dea with one, you get to deal with the other.

Much like the current situation, in which your certificate has no widebody or EMB 170/190 flying, so should your your career expectations be limited from those aircraft if you demand that date of hire senority is unfair.

Any merger is a give and take, and to allow a ratio style merger, while also allowing you access to aircraft types you did not have on the property when the companies were merged is nothing short of a windfall for you and the rest of your AWA pilots.

To argue about it at this point is fruitless, as it will be in the hands of the arbitrator. And arbitrators favor the solution that gives each party something (so they get arbitration work in the future) I agree that you probably will see a senority windfall in U's narrowbody aircraft, but you better wake up to the reality that it might cost you the widebody positions as a result.
