I lost over 50% of my retirement seniority due to the influx of people that were younger than me being put ahead of me. In return I got no pay raise, no better contract, no additional flying just people in front of me yet I don't cry like a whiny baby every chance I get. I have moved on and only bring it up when the crybabies think that all that extra money, more bases, more stability, better contract and somehow they got screwed.

SW too slow and plodding and folksy. I think it would be a tough merger for the business to say nothing of the employees.

This won’t get settled until after the election next year. This is way beyond “safety” - it’s pure politics.
Trouble is, the market is hot. Buying someone at this point would be lunacy and our bean counters (as long as they don’t come from our Scheduling) are too smart for that...
