Oh yeah...I agree.
The only group of humans that hold grudges over pretty much anything more than pilots (regarding loss of seniority/seat status) are women
. So imagine if you will a woman pilot who loses her captain seat because of a geezer! Duck and cover for 20 years.
Seriously...look at the grudges still festering to this day (in no particular order/magnitude):
Reno Air/AA/TWA
USAir/Piedmont/PSA/AWA
Allegheny/Mohawk
Capitol/UAL
NWA/Republic
Flying Tigers/FDX
DAL/Western
SWA/Morris (maybe not so bad)
And there has to be many others I have forgotten. Imagine the mythical national master seniority list and the grudges that would create!
