I feel that your MEC is pouring fuel on an already hot fire by essentially saying they don't want things to be fair and equitable for everyone. In the end I hope that this anger doesn't make it to the flight deck
I think in the end our combined group will still have the 5%. It always will. "fair and equitable" is in the eyes of the beholder. That's the entire psycological premise behind this 20+ pages. What 1 thinks is fair, 2 do not. What 1 thinks is equitable, 2 do not. For that very reason we all entrust in Bloch. His only job is to create a method of "fair and equitable" and populate it with our pre-existing list that was totally based on the seniority system. We could be the best of friends, or worst of enemies- that won't change bloch's job or mindset. He is the "neutral" and theoretically the only one who is entirely unaffected by the outcome. Why he has had all info since tuesday and it's not out is beyond me. Hopefully this is resolved soon, everyone is ready to see the list and move on. The only smiling face will be the #1 guy. The rest if us will have a different view of "fair and equitable" but will move on just like Delta. We can only fear a Usair/America west situation, but I think between merger policy and learning from the past this shouldn't be the case.
