Sure, your relative seniority improves on the day of SLI, but what about 10 or 20 years down the road?
JB will start to have a decent number of retirements soon and having younger Spirit pilots slotted in ahead of us means many of us will retire with much less relative seniority because of the SLI.
I’m not commenting on the overall benefit of the merger, just the mathematical reality that seems to get overlooked in these discussions when we have tunnel vision on relative seniority movement on the date of SLI without considering future ramifications.
