Now when it comes to a Delta/Alaska merger SLI, I will be there right next to you fighting for 100 year fences, but don't blow sunshine up people's skirts.

Nothing against the Alaska guys, I'm sure they are swell but nothing other than a straight staple with 100 year fences on narrow bodies and 300 year fences on wide bodies. Anything less it will be world war. IMO

Besides, fences don't work.

"WAS" how most mergers were done would be the appropriate tense.

He was very senior for a good part of his career....retired off the 400, spent 6 years on the DC-10. If he had such a jaded perspective, why would I have gotten into this career? Why would he be so supportive? Your reasoning isn't very sound...

He absolutely didn't take it home after every trip- and was very positive about his career and the way things turned out. However, from my outside looking in opinion, the 20 year fences and the way things were done pretty much defined exactly how not to do a merger.

From a logical perspective (long before this merger was squeezed out through long dark intestine of management), I consider weighted ratios to be the most clear cut way of integrating lists. How they are weighted is where the jumbo crayon comes in, though. Nothing is perfect.

Agree to disagree?

Happy to be here

I guess we will find out tomorrow.

Tell you what, call crew resources and ask. They are answering their phones.

I'm curious how you think integrating 1400 pilots into our 12,000 pilot group would crush the bottom 4,000 of our pilots. Could you explain?

I'm just guessing he is surmising this because of the seniority of our most senior 73N and A320 Capts (which equals AK's #1 Capt) then ratioed in by status and category (M88 and DC 9 are lower) with a dash of W-2 relativism thrown in. They've got furloughees that wouldn't count. Easy to come to the conclusion that it would mess with the bottom 4000 folks as a wag.

IMO its a pretty fair wag.
