Wow! I would think that would be way down my list of questions or concerns, if I was involved.

I don't know. Wings and shirt color are gaining traction on the chats. I could see this being an item of contention too.

When TWA was bought by AA, the big, legitimate concerns were where pilots were on the seniority list, whether 25 year CA were going to be kicked to FO, whether FO were going to be sent home, and whether all of the FA were going to be sent home. I do not remember a single person asking what the new employee numbers were going to be.

Don't forget about gender identity. Being able to designate myself as non-binary is pretty high up on the list.

I definitely want to be able to list my preferred pronouns and preferred race under my name plate on my shirt.
