Keep in mind that there is no way they should be merged or integrated with seniority on our list with any seniority greater than that of our most junior furloughed pilot. That would be an insult to all of the 1437 that are currently furlouged to have a regional pilot, that our jobs were outsourced to, placed above a pilot on the current UniCon seniority list. That would be completely unacceptable.
