So its fair if "relative position" places a 10 year Virgin Captain next to a 30 year Alaska Captain? Don't be surprised if you start seeing "Hired not Acquired" bag tags at an airport near you.

Runway behind you is never relevant, only runway ahead...

I won’t be shocked if it goes straight relative seniority.

Senority List Integration from 2007 on......
 

Rabble rabble

Relative Senority is the fairest thing out there, period! There maybe some concessions due to retirements being higher the next few years but besides that relative seniority is the way to go.

There's no point to this thread and no one will change any minds. Extremes of DOH (AS) and straight relative (VX) are hopes and setting up expectations which in all likeliness will not happen. The best anyone can do is read the ALPA merger policy and let the process play itself out. Career Expectations, Longevity, and Status and Category will play the main roles. Read up on previous recent SLI decisions of Delta/NW, Co/UA, AA/US, and 9E/9L/XJ. Other than that, sit back relax and enjoy the fight. Errr, I mean flight :)

Likely The Integrated Seniority list will occur entirely between 1996 and April 2016...Those senior to 1996 will be excluded and everone after April 2016 will be date of hire anyway

I like the "career expectations" part. Right now, I expect to retire in single digits.

I'm betting that doesn't stand...

Please read the document. Career Expectation doesn’t have anything to do with what you think or expect as a pilot. It’s a qualifier for narrowbody and widebody.

Single percentage digits? That shouldn’t change. If you’re 15/3000 instead of 9/1700, what’s the difference?
