It will eventually be merged , when and how it's hard to say . As a new hire at VA just consider yourself at the bottom anyway so it really shouldn't concern you much . You might not stay on the Airbus long , if they get rid of them , but I'm being positive ,thinking you will still have a job anyway on a Boeing .
Hope this help .

I swore you asked this question already.

In the Alaska hiring thread, yep. Just wanted to find out what VX's pilot group has to say.

Thanks for your input! I would be very humbled to work for VX/AS.

Get your Airbus and sidestick experience now before you will need to squeeze into the 737!

The thought of flying a 737 for the next 30 years makes me want to puke

Still a better outcome than a standalone VX.

Hmm not certain how to ask this, but here goes: does anyone know a VX recruiter with whom I could come into contact?

Yes I know. It was a joke...sort of. The combined airlines should be good for both sides. I'll just hang on to the bus to the end.
