For those hired in like 2012-2013, upgrade was going to be really quick. Basically all of US-E retired in that time frame.
Just looked it up, you're right it was ~$160, not $180. Ouch!

then after them the 2007-2013 hires were added to the 3rd list. Also thought that the merger announcement in late January 2013 was when the SLI snapshot was taken for the 4 lists being made into one with AA. Everyone after that in 2013 went DOH. I remember the late 2013/early 2014 LAA newhire arguing to be put senior to the January 2013 LUS… with 1000 guys still bypassing furlough at LAA…
Wasn't midatlantic just the furloughed east guys? They were transferred to Republic IIRC under jets4jobs weren't they? I think during the merger East tried to argue they were on the seniority list, which they were, but furloughed circa 2001 when Airways went from 6000 pilots to 3000.
I had forgotten what a ****show that was.
