Overall earnings(including retirement) @ F9 are far better then at RAH. Be careful not to set yourself up for huge disappontment.
An arbitrator would also take into account where the money came from that has kept F9 operating this whole time. Aircraft size shouldn't matter in any arbitration. Seniority integration is not about the size of the metal flown but about who deserves what. If RAH saves an airline from dieing then the pilots who have always been loyal to RAH won't get the shaft. Like I said we'll wait to hear from the unions on this one.
