Is this for legal expenses because some are unhappy with the reward and don't know the definition of binding arbitration? From the numbers I've seen, most guys are within .1 or .2% of their original relative seniority and the most was about 3%. Let's not let this turn into USAir/AWA. Don't let the hire date next to the name drive you nuts. Each co hired different numbers at different times and for that we cannot change. The only one that will win here is the lawyers. Time to accept our award, integrate, make this merger work and look forward to becoming profitable and negotiating our next contract in 2012 as a combined, unified pilot group.
