So if I started a one airplane airline that flew a 737 making 40k as a captain, and SWA bought me, my career expectation would be a 737 captain. Do I get relative seniority, now instead of being on the top of a 4 person airline, I am on top of SWA seniority list making at least 250k? I mean I was going to be a 737 captain at my old airline, I deserve to be a captain at SWA now right?
This is why I think that there will be some credit given due to the wide contract disparity between the two airlines. It won't be straight relative, but it certainly want to a staple job or whatever the heck WN guys think would be "fair."
