757Driver, I'm sure that issues for your section of the seniority list will be addressed.

Now, as we all know, the devil's in the details. We all have certain expectations of where we'll end up on a combined seniority list. No matter which airline we're on, the odds are that almost everyone will end up being below where we'd expect to be.

For seniority integration, I'm personally in favor of having each MEC come up with a solution, have a brief discussion on it with the other MEC, and then go VFR direct to binding arbitration. The bad blood between groups on seniority list integration happens somewhere between the merger being announced and going to binding arbitration. I don't know if accelerating binding arbitration will do any better, but it's likely to not do much worse.
