You have absolutely no way to see the future. FOs were furloughed when those 17 aircraft were dropped. There's nothing to say the company wouldn't have expanded elsewhere. As far as F9 exiting bankruptcy what do you know that nobody else did? I didn't see anyone else placing bids and they didn't have the financial ability to exit on their own.

As far as the debate over seniority goes this thing went to arbitration for a reason which is because he/she is impartial. Considering the hundreds of pages of statements submitted and the long drawn out process this has been it's obvious that everyone presented their best case on how they felt integration should go. Its out of everyone's hands and all the complaining the world isn't going to change that. I personally might be stapled or I might wind up in a decent spot but the one thing you won't see me doing is complaining about how it turns out. Everyone should have been using this time to prepare themselves for whatever ruling the arbitrator makes. We should all be able to agree that our points of view are not impartial. The arbitrator's is. Just agree on that then shift your focus to what can be done to make the place better moving forward instead of focusing on what can't be changed and wasn't your decision.
