VERY well written. I am on day 2 of a 4 day right now and am looking forward to the vote that I am going to call home to my wife and read me the pin number and instructions over the phone.
Another point that as we stand right now, if Pinnacle wants to join seniority list, take our flying, or just generally do whatever they would like THEY CAN! The only one fighting for us is BC and I wouldnt trust him with my dirty laundry. With a union we actually have a group with OUR best interest in mind working and fighting with us to do ultimately what is right.
I personally hope they merge us as you said the seniority is relative and will really not affect me or anyone else I know. To go from 400 strong to 1700 strong would be a proud moment in stopping a whipsaw cold in its tracks and making that PNCL strike all that much more powerful.
