What Godzilla is saying is that TWA/OZ was DOH, and noone lost their jobs. Quite the contrary, OZ pilots suddenly found themselves able to bid 767/L1011/747 Int'l, which obviously wasn't available prior to the merger.

In the TWA/AA debacle, 60% of TWA pilots were stapled to bottom of 11,000+ AA pilot list, including 200 MD80/717 Captains with 14 years service, all were subsequently furloughed, plus 500 more that were ratioed. Not to mention TWA pilots were 'Fenced' into STL, had JFK/LAX/SFO domiciles closed, and could only fly MD80/757/767, without being allowed to bid 737/A300/777.

See the (gigantic) difference?
