Personally flying to Rome is a lot more appealing and generally a more productive trip than PHX - TUS - DEN - PHX - SAN. Thats just my preference though.

I hope niether group gets abused. Mergering employee groups can be ugly business
Hey Duvie,

Pretty accurate assesment about the seniority lists ... FWIW.

Not quite as accurate on the composition of AWA flying ... except of course on the shrinking B737 fleet.

We do have quite a few flights that make it farther west then DEN ...

As a matter of fact, some of us even make it to such far away places as HNL, CUN, ANC ... to name a few (but no Europe of course)

As to your closing comment ... UNFORTUNATELY both sides are ALREADY being abused ...

Later, CC
