Um no...

When my mortgage is due my payrate is most decidedly not meaningless. How your pilot group came to arrive at their rate may be water under the bridge, but what that rate currently stands at is huge. Both in QOL and what they may or may not bring to the table. As long as one of the companies involved in a merger is not "circling the bowl" as neither of us are, then from where I stand it matters not how much NW or DL made in the last quarter. I care about how much of that profit you saw in your paycheck. DAL's quarterly reports don't mean a damn to me as long as they are black. What my W-2 says reflects the QOL of my wife & kids. So I expect that W-2 and QOL to stay exactly the same or better than they were before.

Why wouldn't they? This aquisition is a good thing for everybody right?
