The snapshot WAS NOT taken yet, fyi.
Your theoretical 'pilot X' is a furloughed UAL guy, who will return much faster with this merger than if UAL had gone it alone.(Just my opinion). I think you're overestimating the weight that active years of service will carry. Here's hoping we're all equally hosed. The true definition of fairness.
