Steps to improve your sli outcome. I guarantee this will work:

1. Make sure you’re off oct 11 and a few days after. Call out if you have to. Mental health.

2. Go camping somewhere without any internet.

3. Enjoy the company of friends (or solo), do the activity of your choice each day, but be sure to enjoy a beer or three over the camp fire.

That’s my plan anyway...

It is, but everything related to this merger has been a complete disaster and I expect the sli to be nothing less

Is this thing for sure coming out or was that a projection?

Hard core reality check???

Would you please explain the context of this hard core reality check that you are prescribing for your fellow pilots?

VX Pilots have already hit a home run. They gambled their working years on a wildcard and it paid off. The loser here is going to be the going concern known as Alaska Air Group.

Haha a home run. Delta would have been a home run. Alaska’s acquisition is much more like being hit by a pitch and taking your base.

Home run? Base close and commuting 2,200nm weekly and eventual move away from all family/relatives/friends to the west coast isn’t a homerun. Just like Ala5ka said, it feels like a free walk to first base after a hit by pitch. As for the SLI there is no point to this thread but I’m in agreement 100% with OCCP.

Indeed. In fact, 100% relative seniority makes a lot of sense. Everybody basically keeps the relative seniority they have. Nobody gains, nobody loses, other than the losses caused by shutting down the JFK base, which was not a decision the pilots from either group had anything to do with.

And like you, I don't have a dog in this fight.
