Since when has date of hire been used? What about my several years at another airline? Is RAH your first? Give me my date of hire at my first airline and I assure you that you'll still be saying "clear right".

I know, my date of hire is irrelevant at my previous company, as is yours if RAH is not your first. When two companies merge their lists, date of hire is not used because there are large variations between companies. If RAH were to buy Compass, we have a new law to test out that was signed into law back in 2007. It requires allegheny-mohawk LPP to be followed; whatever your contract says is no longer relevant as it was for the Shuttle & Mid Atlantic acquisitions.
