I'm glad this topic came up, because it probably didn't get sufficiently covered in 2010-2013.

Did anyone get screwed in the merger?

Very true. I have a bunch of South Pilots in 1991/1992 that are matched with 1996 North hires. We need to look forward. Our merger was and still is the Gold Standard of Airline mergers- Perfect? Hell No, but we are probably all better off in the long run.

Exactly! We all have our sob stories from the merger. ATL is wayyyy more senior than it used to be pre-merger, that's just the way it is.

In other words...the company got everything it wanted immediately. We have to wait 6 months for our upside. Outstanding negotiating.

Yep. Early '97 at NWA. Guy in front of me is a DAL mid '98 hiree. And there are some North guys, who are Capt's, that are surrounded by South guys 4 years (DOH) juinor.
