This is why I applied to Continental Airlines. As a 2005 I was projected to be at 50 percent on the seniority list in ten years. This was before any merger!
I am currently at 66 percent and can hold 737 captain at any of our domiciles. Don't care to fly a widebody never did.
I hope the ISL is fair and equatable!

It is quite remarkable that your MEC Chair fought against an SFO 737 base because of the "emotional distress" it would cause the pilots, yet here you are delighting in the what may be a far worse fate (no one would have been displaced from SFO) for DEN pilots. The dots don't connect on this one.

It's the nature or our business. But none that I know of are gleeful at someone else's misfortunes, which sooner or later may be our own.

The delay in the SLI (DAL/NWA had one in about 6 mo) is creating some inequities that WILL be rectified in the future. Nature of the business, like you said. Establishing an SFO 737 base would have just added salt to the wound. UCH is pushing it already.

Prior to the merger, sUAL had more firm order A320s scheduled for delivery in 2013/2014 than sCAL had aircraft ordered for delivery during the period (737s and 787s). The deposits were paid and the sUAL orders are still on Airbus' official order page, so yes, let's play the game about expectations, retirements, and firm aircraft orders as I'm sure you would receive plenty of support from sUAL pilots.
