Neither used DOH or whatever 'earned seniority' is.
It's been $$$ (career expectations) for 40 years.
Career expectations? How is it that the time the merged Usairways/AMR/AWE that a pilot with a 6/89 DOH with AMR and America West was about 3,000 yet a usairways pilot was about 8,700? America West brought no wide bodies to the party. Usairways had more European destinations than any other us carrier. Yet-this list blocked me from a wide body Captain position for life-even with the covid buy outs they gave largely to the american natives. SO! Do you really want to talk about the “$$” in terms of seniority integration or union integrity? Oh ! And one last thought….how has ALPA changed its merger policy since screwing all of this up?
