I also said, that basically it is what it is.. but nonetheless he had a valid point. I even further said that I was willing to let this go, yet you guys keep dragging me back into this argument. It is my opinion.. and like you, I am entitled to it. And contrary to popular belief, my opinion can be changed, just not in this case. Witness my recent civil relationship with Carl.

As a north guy, I just have to add that I agree with the points being made here. There should have been a way to side letter some type of agreement to allow the converting of 767 to 7ER without opening it up to bidding as a "new" category. Especially in a case like SLC when it is just the same number of positions being closed and opened. I think what happened with the 757 categories in DTW and MSP was enough of a precedent set to justify and agreement that would have been less disruptive to the pilots involved than a total rebid.
Like I like to tell my kids sometimes "fair and equal are not the same thing"
