Both NK and JB are growing similar in real terms now, not some fantasy order book math you can't actually staff. It's not the arbitrators job to determine which few years in an airlines history were peak growth years and tailor a list for what benefits Symbian to the maximum extent possible and to the detriment of anyone and everyone else.
And I consider Payne to be a friend, so I won't cower in a corner while you try and ambush him with "Symbian logic
I will answer to this reply, because I think it is the most pertinent. Yeah. I was/am wrong. You and the others are right. I did only look at the last 15 or so years, and I got lucky with the progression at NK, and would like to keep that. And like plenty of others have said: it's not like we are going to have a say in the matter, but that didn't stop me from shooting my mouth off. I will not be the one resenting other pilots if/when any of these mergers go through because I realize that whomever I fly with was in the same boat without a rudder.
