How does merger seniority get handled?
 
With the announcement of the point share with JetBlue, I’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about mergers. Regardless if they hold any credibility, it had me curious, how do mergers typically get handled? How did the continental merger get handled? We’re both carriers Alpa? I understand, or at least I think I do, that the negotiating committees go back and forth, but what would you expect the outcome to be?

Don’t worry about it. There’s nothing you can do and you won’t like where you end up on the list unless your #1.

Do a search there are 10,000 angry posts wrapped up in a 100 threads on here.

or just go read the Alaska/hawaiian boards or the allegiant/sun country boards or the republic/mesa boards.

put some effort in….you got this!

Let me paraphrase. Everyone got screwed no one was happy.

That’s some more useful info than previous. 6,000 means almost a third of the pilot group was there and experienced it. I’m just looking to learn a little bit about the process and how history played out. That’s all.
