Who has any career expectations after 9-11. UAL Pilots had career expectations – how are they working out? Pan Am guys had career expectations also. TWA….. well you get the point. Career expectations do not seem like a reliable indicator of an actual airline career. The only realistic career expectation is that this career is a crapshoot.
If we do merge with Alaska we should strive or a fair SLI with minimal use of fences. I imagine there would be some fences, but by crafting a SLI based on category, the merger fence use could be minimized.

Do you think Alaska pilots should feel they have a "right" to fly wide bodys in merger?
And what does 911 have anything to do with a merger?
Go and ask a southwest pilot if he ever expects to fly a wide body. How about airtran, jetblue.... well you get the point.
