There is a bag room and a small sleeping room. Other than that, I try to limit my time in the lounge as much as possible.Thankfully we LA guys have Patti. She's a God-send.

Shouldn't you be getting in fights in the crew room?

Seniority Integration
This does not have anything to do with Latest and Grates, so I apologizing in advance. I just wanted to get the opinion of someone whom might have been in this situation before. Let’s say Delta decides to merge Comair and Mesaba and use relative seniority to integrate the two pilot groups, what would happen to the pilots currently on furlough? A lot people are saying that according to ALPA’s history, furloughed pilots are stapled to the bottom of the list. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated. Again, sorry to take this off topic.

Stapling furloughs is not actually due to ALPA's history, it's due to historical precedent in court arbitration. But yes, that is the precedent with regards to furloughs.
If wanted, both sides could make their cases to ensure all furloughees were given appropriate relative seniority or the like.
What the arbiter decides is binding though... and it is their interpretation of what is fair and legal.

Guys,
The Civil War is indeed over - we should all be one big happy family, but if you must argue I have a recommendation: Please do not talk about which side made out better - both sides have been taken to the cleaners repeatedly since 9-11.
All arguments should be referenced to which side got screwed the least.
