Blueskies beat me. But yeah, if you get displaced you can occupy any seat that your seniority can hold.

I could respect someone who actually manned up and had the balls to admit it. It just sounds to me like most here are putting up extremely childish arguments as a cover-up.
In reality, that's how life is. Everyone looks out for themselves and you truly can't blame humans for feeling this way. You can, though, blame them for acting and handling the situation like little boys. It is extremely pathetic that adults can act the way some of you do and it is very discomforting to know we'll be sharing the same cockpit one day.

I don't think it's selfish to point out that vast amounts of historical SLIs are against the furloughed guys being integrated as they have in the past. I wouldn't say I'm selfish or "out for number one" since those guys (unless they're super senior volunteers) are about 2 years behind me anyway. If someone 2 years junior to me jumps me in the SLI, I've got bigger problems with the list than how the furloughs were handled.

It was obvious you were just pointing out a historical trend.

Considering your posting history on these merger threads, I don't value your opinion....at all. But hey, thanks for playing.

Sounds like a new, addictive Facebook game.

Every situation is going to be different, no matter how similar it may appear.
The defeatist attitude by some here is just insane.
