This new airline is going to be legacy-lite. I can easily see senior FA's parking it here for the rest of their life.

Hell, my wife was faster on the trigger with the 24hr time than I ever was, I was always the first S4 when she did it.

The combined airline might have 35,000 employees. That's still 40% less than southwest and we don't have any regional pilots like the big-3.

This has always been a touchy subject. Personally despite being below the half way mark I would say DOH would be more fair. Someone with more years given of service deserves higher priority. I do see where that becomes an issue of checking in last minute and bumping someone else that didn’t expect it.
As far as flight crew having more priority I do think there should be a scale. For pilots and mechanics this is a career. For the other work groups this is a job. My 21 year old cousin could be doing this for the benefits while she finishes school. That person shouldn’t have more priority than those work groups that won’t be bouncing around and are so more committed to the airline.

If DOH counts it should only be valid during the first hour of check in. I like knowing my priority (more or less) well before dragging my family out to the airport.
Standby travel is one area where B6 may literally be the best in the industry.
