Oh, they wouldn't? You mean like VA/Alaska would keep the 320? Well that makes me feel better.....

What would make me really feel better is not merging with SWA....

FYI......my momentary setback has been 10 years now and I’m still not back to the same relative seniority as I was prior to getting #AirTraned. Just a little data point for you.

Interesting how so many regular joe pilots know so much about mergers, acquisitions and seniority integration. They should really quit their day job, take their community college or graduate degree from Riddle, trade SAVE stock all day and do some consulting for Ted and other major airline executives. Very amusing to read all this. 😂😂

How’s the setback with your earnings?

Worse for the short-mid term and probably better for the long run. Of course, that’s assuming AT would have been compensating similarly to NK & JBA is now.

Probably a safe bet.

I see plenty of Alaska painted 320s. You’d be fenced as a 320 captain long enough.

none of us want a SWA either so we can agree on that.

Lmao. I wouldn’t count on that. They’d want to “capture” your captain seats. That’s SWAPA speak for take all your captain seats for us.
