Just to stir the sh## here, AWA negotiators walked out of merger talks with the AAA guys this week because AAA is insisting on date of hire and bringing furloughed guys back on ahead of active AWA pilots.

Both ideas are deader than an armadillo crossing I 10.

Looks like arbitration to me. We (AWA) are only asking for relative seniority, i.e. if you are 50th percentile on your present seniority list then you are 50th percentile in the merged list.
