I just spent the last hour reading through this thread, Wow! There is absolutely no doubt in my mind everyone of us, whether XJ-9E-9L are all at least a little stressed out about the eventual outcome of the ISL. What I don't understand is why so many on this thread continue to voice person OPINIONS and argue amongst eachother about a topic which we have NO control over? The ALPA Merger and Fragmentation Policy used by our Merger Committees, Mediator/Arbitrator is the governing document, PERIOD. Our Merger Committees obviously have embarkded upon an extremely daunting task and I hope they can come up with a fair and equitable solution in the end for ALL of us. If it does go to Arbitration this April, I trust Mr. Bloch and his over 40 years of experience guided by the ALPA Merger and Fragmentation Policy can come up with a reasonable solution for us all as well. I for one, will not dwell on something I have no control over. I look forward to sharing the Flight Deck with any XJ-9E-9E pilot and enjoying a GREAT contract as ONE group of professionals.
