Relative seniority is a pipe dream. It is just what it says it is...relative. The seniority they hold at Airtran is relative to the other Airtran pilots - not at the airline that is buying theirs. The lack of growth is a poor argument as well. SWA probably would have grown just fine without this. I don't seeing anything at all positive for our group with this deal. Most of the posters here, believe it or not, would actually enjoy seeing SWA struggle through this.
