However, I hope the company "does the next right thing" and actually runs "the big bid" shortly thereafter. Potential excuses not to include the different payroll systems we'll still be on, the lack of a common uniform, or perhaps even the influence of other workgroups who still don't have JCBAs. I live in an AA base and commute to a US one, so I hope this gets done as quick as anyone, but these are the things that keep me up at night.

I think the seniority list will be done, I think all sides will begrudgingly accept it, and I think the company will nail the target date of single FOS on August 31, 2016.However, I hope the company "does the next right thing" and actually runs "the big bid" shortly thereafter.

Not that it's impossible, but it would be unprecedented for a merged airline to have a "big bid" after SLI, otherwise known as a "bump and flush". Most post merger companies have just filled new positions internally and then offered leftovers to new hires. There can be displacements, but a big bump and flush would be unprecedented. Hope you did not base your QOL expectations on that eventuality.
