Extreme inequality - October 2011 DOH at both airlines, Spirit pilot loses 18% while JetBlue pilot gains 11.9% - Thats a 30% spread
2127 (73%) Spirit pilots lose more than 5%, while not a single one gains more than 2%
2865 (60%) JetBlue pilots gain more than 5%, while not a single one loses more than 1.1%
Whoa Nelly!
Read ALPA section 45 on SLI. It is specifically intended to not favor one group vs the other. I think the SLI will be much closer to relative seniority than DOH
Read the Alaska VA ISL decision he posted. Read the positions of 3 professional arbitrators on how all 3 criteria were weighed. DOH will never happen under an ALPA merger, neither will straight Rel Seniority. Because either one ignores the other 2 criteria. Its a good read, worth the 20 minutes of time.
