What I'm saying is, the SLI will hopefully suck equally for all. However, because of recovering flying to mainline, all will see a net push up the ladder to cover that flying and improve their status as outsourced flying comes back in house.
The contracts the company has with outsourced carriers won't be recaptured in a moment. That is reality. However, until a JCBA is in place that begins the process of returning that flying is in place, all NewCo pilots are in an undesirable position.
Good on everyone that showed up!

If everyone is a little ****ed it was probably about right
I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of an exodus as well after a JCBA is ratified. I think some over the over 60 crowd might be hanging out to see what kind of retro check they might get. So hopefully there is some impetus for recalls/movement there as well.
Finally, I'd like to thank our UAL brethren who came out and sweated with us today in IAH. Final tally was just over 300 today in IAH with 350 or so in EWR yesterday. Great job yesterday and today guys and gals! Carry it through to ORD next week!
