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.
