This merger is infinitely more complicated than the VA merger and to my eyes HA seems significantly overstaffed.

Your stuck for the forseeable future. For those that are happy with their place on the seniority list thats fine. For those that are stuck on reserve, just short of upgrade, stuck flying trips they hate etc. Its a disaster. For a new hire looking at options, wouldn't touch this place with a 10' pole. AS probably won't need many anyway.
