So top three numbers go to the top three Alaska guys, then the senior VX guy, then the two next senior Alaska guys, then the next senior VX guy, then the next two senior Alaska guys, then the next senior VX guy, then the next three Alaska guys, then a VX guy, then two Alaska Guys, then a VX guy, then two Alaska guys, then a VX guy.

That's 14 Alaska guys and six VX guys. That's a ratio of about two point three four to one.

Now wash, rinse, and repeat with the rest of both pilot lists, until the entire new list is established. Just like shuffling cards...

No Alaska guy will lose seniority to any other Alaska guy and no VX guy will lose seniority to any other VX guy, and all but the the most junior VX guy will have at least a little more room between him/herself and any potential furloughs should the economy tank than they did before

What was so damn hard about that?

In a company with no serious scope limits, you'd think you guys would have better things to fight about then going at each other.

64/36 ratio and add back to filter in starting 01/01/1996. Remove the add-back constraint at 01/01/2002. Go straight ratio from there until 04/2016. Model the bottom 200 to place 41 former Virgin pilots as the plug. Build the list slots by stove piping. Place all non listers 1 number above the pilot directly below them pre-merger. Date of hire placement after 4/16. Protect all captains with ratio reduction language For 50 months.
