I hope you’re right, but it seems like in mergers, 2+2=3. If it goes through, I hope our execs don’t end up closing a bunch of domiciles and deferring a bunch of deliveries and we just end up with a lot of younger pilots integrated ahead of us on the list, slowing future seniority advancement. I know they wouldn’t plan on spending billions of dollars just to waste the resources, but unless they figure out how to retain more pilots, they could be forced into it (kind of like cutting the flying this summer) and if it starts to look stagnant, attrition will just accelerate. Just one possible outcome and I hope it’s overly pessimistic.
