btw- it would hurt me but I'd like to start setting a precedent that furloughed pilots are counted as employed during an SLI.
When merged, the reserve pilots will lose a 79 hour guarantee for reserve sc and 75 for lc. Now, if you knock that down to 70 hours wouldn't it require more pilots?
Or what if AMR and DAL split Alaska into a North and South, AMR can have LAX and we'll take SEA/AL. Then we grow LAX.

The furloughed pilot rule needs to stay the way it is. They just get dibs when there are jobs.
I dont see how the staus / category ratio would brutalize DAL pilots. Just make all the senior 73N/As bid 88 FO and let FTB be the senior -800 captain...done.
I think the SLI would be absolutely harsh to the age 40 something AK FO's. And there are lots of them.
