And your years of service at an airline that no longer existed should count because........?
I worked at another Airline prior to AA, why doesn't that count for LOS?
At least you got years of service pay and some of your senior people (not many but some) are still at AA when 1000+ AA pilots who were on the property prior to the "Buyout" (Yes it was a buyout not a merger) are still on the street.
You and I were both sacrificed so those senior to us (some Red, most Blue) could keep their jobs and A-funds ect.........
Vilifying AA pilots and whining about it 7 years later is just a waste

So, FF, did Brown bump you to the head of the line with all your prior TWA seniority?

p.s. you can see a pic of me in STL ops on the "Wall of Lame" if you ever venture through there for some reason. See, I was such a big hit with all you Reds over there that they decided to honor me. However, I'm still waiting for my honorary "TWA Crew" tag...

Why should my years of service count for something, because we brought assets to the party that NAAtives were able to fly to avoid furlough. You're arrogant, "I got mine, pull up the ladder", attitude is why the maco-pilot group is fractured. Ask anyone if they think YOU and your APA treated the TWA pilots fair, and you will get near 100% agreement that you arrogantly screwed them.
You and your union promised fair and equitable. The final product isn't worth the plastic bag I use to pick up dog mess.
If you think the beetching about how you treated us will ever end, I'll give you Jimmy Hoffa's cell phone number.

Villifying pilots who wronged another pilot group is old news? Well they did, and people don't easily forget. When careers are destroyed, the bad feelings don't just disappear...

BTW, you seem to interchange the terms "bought" and "merger" above. I think there's a difference.
Best of luck to you at UPS. I'm out.
