A-319/320/321 CA
A-220 E-190 CA
A-319/320/321 FO
A-220 E-190 FO
This will be a big driver how they integrate the seniority lists per ALPA merger policy.
And before you talk about pay rates, we tried that when we merged with United and it didn’t work.
Unless either airline gets something bigger than a 321 the highest status for both is Narrow body Capt. With slightly more CA's at Jetblue. Staus should and most likely would be a wash in arbitration. Not sure why SLI is even being discussed at this point.
