None of us has any idea whether that will be important in any future SLI. Only the arbitrators know for sure. So I'll say again: There is no such thing as the pre-nup that you desire. No such thing. If merging DCI pilots onto our seniority list in order to achieve "unity" is really that important to you, you need to be ready to accept
whatever an arbitrator decides.

Are you serious? Where's the quid for them? DCI pilots get merged onto our seniority list as long as they go through our hiring process...and you ask where's the quid for them? Does the term: Winning the lottery come to mind? Do you know how many military guys there are that would give their eye teeth for that opportunity? And do you know how many extremely qualified military guys there are that can't even get an interview?
